Sempervivum ‘Anna’

Low-growing, high-temperament drama 🎭

Family: Crassulaceae · Pot diameter: 12 cm · Height: 10–15cm

Crassulaceae
Green to red seasonal colour
Dense pointed rosettes
Offsetting clump
Hardy outdoor succulent

Sempervivum ‘Anna’ forms dense symmetrical rosettes of pointed leaves that shift from clear green into warm red and burgundy tones. Colour zones strengthen or recede through the year, turning the low cluster into a small, continually changing mosaic.

Generous offset production quickly fills a display while preserving the precision of every rosette. It is an excellent choice for a rock garden, balcony or gift to someone who wants vivid seasonal colour and an authentic outdoor presence at a compact scale.

What makes it stand out

Three defining details that turn its botanical identity into real presence for a collection and interior.

Colour that follows the season

Green, red and burgundy tones change intensity with cold, sun and growth.

Rosettes in a full clump

Side rosettes spread around the parent and create a dense low carpet.

A true outdoor succulent

Strong cold tolerance lets it live outside and display its natural seasonal character.

Why you’ll love it: it fills a space with graphic rosettes, transforms its palette through the year and offers genuine outdoor resilience.

In your spacePlacement & plant pairingsWhere it looks best and which plants complement it

In your space

Where it looks its best

Place it outdoors in shallow terracotta, a stone pot or a sunny rock-garden crevice where the clump can spread. A fine gravel top layer highlights the colour and keeps low rosettes clean.

Plant pairings

Plants that complement it

Pair it with plants that genuinely share its light, substrate and seasonal rhythm. Separate pots keep care precise for each one.

Sedum album — fine green groundcover with white summer flowers.
Delosperma cooperi — vivid flowers with similar sunny outdoor resilience.
Sempervivum ‘Gold Nugget’ — golden tones against the red-green mosaic.

Care at a glance

Light

An outdoor position in direct sun for dense form and strong seasonal colour.

Watering

Water after the upper mix dries well, avoiding stagnant winter dampness.

Hardy rosette

Strong cold tolerance when roots drain freely and the rosette has airflow.

Pets & children

Strong cultivar-specific toxicity evidence is unavailable; discourage ingestion.

Detailed careComplete care guideLight, drying cycle, climate, substrate and feeding in detail

Light and position

Grow it outdoors with several hours of direct sun. Strong exposure keeps rosettes low and intensifies red tones, while morning sun is useful in very hot southern positions.

Correct watering

Water after the upper layer dries well and the pot feels lighter, without leaving it dry for weeks during active spring growth. Ensure complete drainage before cold nights.

Airflow and humidity

Low dense rosettes need outdoor airflow and a clear base. Remove dry leaves and do not let fallen organic debris hold winter dampness beneath the clump.

Temperature and seasonal rhythm

Colour changes naturally with temperature and day length. Winter is not an indoor dormancy: keep the plant outside, drier and protected chiefly from stagnant water.

Substrate

Use a shallow stony mix with plenty of grit, pumice or coarse sand and a small organic fraction. Keep rosettes above the surface and ensure immediate drainage.

Feeding, repotting and handling

During spring growth, one very mild dose of Cactus & Succulent Focus used as directed is sufficient. After flowering remove only the rosette that has completed its cycle.

Botanical identityIdentity & natural originAccepted name, taxonomic history and natural or cultivated provenance

A cultivar within the genus

‘Anna’ is a cultivar name in horticulture, not an accepted wild species. It has no documented natural range of its own.

Originator and parentage are unconfirmed

No reliable public source documents an originator, year or exact parents for ‘Anna’. Its provenance is therefore stated without speculative links to a particular species.

It is not Sempervivum annae

The wild Caucasian species Sempervivum annae is a different botanical name. Quotation marks around ‘Anna’ identify a cultivar and prevent confusion.

From natural habitat to care: Sempervivum lineages come from exposed rocky sites across Europe and western Asia, where sun, cold and rapid drainage are normal. In cultivation ‘Anna’ performs best outdoors, in a shallow mineral root zone without winter saturation.

Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScientific facts nobody asked forBotanical detail for anyone who wants to know what lies behind the plant’s appearance

Each rosette is monocarpic

A mature rosette flowers once and dies, while surrounding younger rosettes continue the clump.

Pigments respond to the environment

Anthocyanins and other pigments intensify with sun, cold and seasonal change, shifting the palette.

Stolons build a colony

New rosettes begin on slender connecting shoots and root around the parent.

Low growth limits exposure

Rosettes remain close to stone, reducing wind impact and using stored warmth.

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers about light, watering, seasonal rhythm and the plant’s correct identity.

01Is ‘Anna’ the species Sempervivum annae?

No. ‘Anna’ is a cultivar, while S. annae is a separate Caucasian wild species.

02Why does the colour change so much?

The palette naturally responds to sun, cold, season and leaf age. Summer green or winter red does not indicate a problem.

03When does it need watering?

After the upper mix dries well. In winter, avoiding saturation matters more than following a schedule.

04What light does it need?

Outdoors in direct sun. In very hot climates, morning sun maintains colour without extreme midday stress.

05What changes with the seasons?

The cool outdoor cycle strengthens colour. Growth accelerates in spring and rosettes may flower in summer.

06Is it safe for pets?

Strong cultivar-specific evidence is unavailable. Although it has no spines, discourage ingestion and disturbance of the low clump.
