Sempervivum Supersemp 'Fire Quartz' is a strikingly bold and colorful cold-hardy succulent known for its vivid rosette of red, burgundy, and silvery-green tones, reminiscent of quartz crystals infused with fire. This variety is part of the Supersemp® series, selected for larger rosettes, vibrant coloration, and excellent durability in tough conditions. The colors intensify in cooler seasons, providing dynamic year-round interest.

Perfect for rock gardens, container displays, green roofs, and dry slopes, this low-maintenance plant spreads by producing offsets (the “chicks”) around the main rosette (the “hen”), forming beautiful clusters over time.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Thick, pointed leaves form compact, symmetrical rosettes with vibrant red and frosty green hues.

• Color: Intense red and burgundy shades with silver-green highlights; deepest colors in spring and fall.

• Growth Habit: Clumping, mat-forming; spreads through offsets.

• Size: Typically 4–6 inches tall, spreading up to 12 inches or more with chicks.

• Light Requirements: Full sun for best color; tolerates partial shade.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, gritty or sandy soils; drought-tolerant once established.

• Hardiness: USDA zones 4–9.

• Water Needs: Low. Allow soil to dry between waterings.

• Flowers: May produce pink star-shaped flowers on tall stalks in summer (plant often dies back after flowering, replaced by offsets).

• Uses: Excellent for rock gardens, containers, walls, rooftop gardens, xeriscapes, and edge plantings.

• Maintenance: Very low; remove spent rosettes and old leaves as needed.
