Cobweb Hens And Chicks (Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobwebs')

Cobweb Hens And Chicks is a tough, low-growing succulent perennial that brings crisp texture and bold detail to sunny gardens and containers. The tiny rosettes look like they have been dusted with spider silk, adding a clean, high-contrast pattern that stands out in gravel, stone, and drought-friendly designs. It spreads by producing offsets, so a small planting can quickly become a dense patch with very little maintenance. If you want reliable structure with minimal watering and year-round interest, this is an easy fit.

Distinctive Features

This sempervivum forms tight rosettes of pointed blue-green leaves connected by fine white threads that create the signature cobweb look. Plants spread by producing many offsets, building a low, mounded colony that can tuck into crevices and shallow soils where other plants struggle. In summer, mature rosettes can send up short stalks with starry pink to rose-pink flowers, and the flowering rosette declines afterward while surrounding offsets continue. The overall effect is neat, geometric, and durable, with strong texture even in small spaces.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun for best color, tight rosettes, and strong cobwebbing.
  • Soil: Very well-drained, gritty soil, and it tolerates poor, rocky soils once established.
  • Water: Low water needs after establishment, and let soil dry between waterings in containers.
  • USDA Zones: 3 to 8.
  • Mature Size: About 1 to 4 inches tall and 6 to 12 inches wide, spreading wider over time by offsets.
  • Habit: Low, mat-forming rosettes that slowly spread into colonies.

Ideal Uses

  • Rock Gardens: Tuck into sunny, fast-draining beds for durable texture and crisp patterning.
  • Crevice Planting: Plant between stones and in wall pockets where shallow soil and sharp drainage are the norm.
  • Edging: Line borders and paths with tidy rosettes that stay low and defined.
  • Containers: Use in troughs and small pots where the cobweb detail can be enjoyed up close.
  • Focal Point: Mass a small patch in a gravel bed so the white cobweb threads create a sharp, graphic moment.
  • Groundcover: Fill sunny, dry spots with a living mat that holds its shape and resists heat.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Drainage: Keep roots out of wet soil, since excess moisture is the fastest way to cause rot.
  • Watering: Water sparingly once established, and avoid frequent light watering that keeps soil damp.
  • Bloom Cleanup: Remove spent flower stalks and the old rosette after bloom if desired, letting offsets fill in.
  • Grooming: Clear debris from the rosettes to keep the cobweb look clean and reduce trapped moisture.
  • Propagation: Separate and replant offsets to expand coverage or start new pots.

Why Choose Cobweb Hens And Chicks?

  • Signature Texture: Cobweb threading adds a distinctive look that feels curated and uncommon.
  • Cold Hardy: Handles tough winters well when planted in well-drained soil.
  • Drought Tolerant: Thrives in sunny, dry conditions with minimal supplemental water.
  • Easy to Multiply: Offsets spread naturally, making it simple to fill gaps and build a colony.
  • Generally Deer Resistant: Often avoided by deer and rabbits, especially compared to softer-leaved perennials.
  • Container Friendly: Performs beautifully in troughs and small pots where drainage can be controlled.

Cobweb Hens And Chicks is at its best in full sun and sharp drainage, where it stays compact, textured, and resilient. Give it a gritty home and resist overwatering, and it will reward you with a durable, patterned mat that looks designed in every season.

Practice makes perfect
These are actually three separately assembled screens that link together once ready, so I could gauge the improvement in my capability as a screen-assembling artisan. I’m 71 so getting down on the floor wasn’t all that easy. The first screen took 90 minutes as I tried to decipher the typically less than ideal pictorial directions, and to figure out how to position everything (including myself) working in a fairly small space. But by the third assembly I was a skilled craftsman and assembled it in 15 minutes. They look nice and do what I had hoped. All the parts were there, well-labeled, and the threading on the screw mountings were adequate although one required a bit more cajoling than the rest and worried me a bit until I finally got it right.

Not good quality
Color: Black, Size: Four Panel
Not the easiest thing to assemble, the screwdriver provided doesn't work so I hope you have your own. The fabric panels were at least an inch too short and weren't long enough to stretch to top and bottom, strain on velcro made them pop off with the slightest movement. Once assembled the panels were assembled they weren't stable at all and would fall over easily. Not very safe

Better than expected!
I ordered this room divider for my small apartment and the quality is surprisingly pretty good for the price paid — sturdy metal poles, mid-weight fabric panels enough for privacy (i.e.: not so see-through), brand new screws, and thick plastic end connectors. Instructions are figures only — READ THE PICTURES CAREFULLY! Highly recommend having a second person to help with assembling the divider panels together. This took me and my friend over an hour to assemble partly because there’s only one hex key to tighten the screws (and I forgot to add the plastic end connectors to the #3-labeled poles, so I had to take it apart and then set it up again). Overall satisfied with this purchase.

Privacy screen
I purchased this to set up as a privacy wall to make a makeshift guest “room” in our living room. It is a beautiful wine color it was very easy to assemble it took me like maybe all of five minutes and it’s very lightweight and easy to move. I think $50+ is steep for this item- it’s literally cloth stretched across a cheap frame- but it is not see through and it worked for what we needed. I would recommend it. There is a gap at the bottom that a cat can easily walk under or a nosey dog can poke their head through- but for people privacy it’s very good- and tall!

Wrong pieces included
Color: Black, Size: Four Panel
Was only able to use 3 of the panels the last poles were different from the others. The panels that we were able to put together are very nice and seems durable.
