cobweb houseleek
Quick Summary
Cobweb houseleek (Sempervivum arachnoideum) is a low-growing succulent plant native to Europe, Morocco, and western Asia. It is characterized by its basal rosette of small, fleshy leaves that are connected by fine, cobweb-like strands. This plant, also known as cottony houseleek, typically produces bright red flowers. Houseleeks, in general, are known for their hardiness and ability to grow in challenging conditions, sometimes found on thatched roofs, which gives them the name "houseleek". They are attractive in gardens and can be grown indoors in pots.123
