Sempervivum arachnoideum, commonly known as the cobweb houseleek, is a resilient mat-forming succulent that produces tight rosettes of fleshy green or reddish leaves. Its most distinctive feature is the fine, silvery-white hairs that crisscross the leaf tips, resembling a spider's web. This perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained, gritty soil, making it ideal for rock gardens, wall crevices, or containers. In summer, it sends up stalks of star-shaped pink flowers that attract pollinators.
