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.

100% worth it - I recommend to EVERYONE
I've seen coworkers and instructors using folding screens behind them for video calls since the pandemic started, and I finally gave in and purchased this one. I freaking LOVE it. I love that I can be on a video call and not have to worry about the angle of my laptop or having people 'in' my home while I'm at work. It's so nice. I may eventually buy and deconstruct a wall hanging to create some colorful fabric panels instead of the brown, but (and I say this as NOT a brown fabric-lover) the brown looks pretty nice. It's a very dark brown, and it serves as completely neutral while still feeling a bit warm. - No need for tools to assemble, even though it says screwdriver. - One thing: I thought it would fold up flat, and it does NOT fold up flat. Important to know. I just keep it folded up into a 16.5" (grabbed a tape measure to check) square column by my desk and unfold whenever I have video conferences. If you can't tell, I really like having this thing around. 100% recommend and would buy again.

it's a utility screen
Color: Black, Size: 3-Panel
It's a basic, utilitarian screen. It's what I expected it to be. Assembly isn't hard, but it does require two people when stretching the fabric between the poles. I got it to use in a closet to separate the water heater from the washer/dryer, so it'll be perfect for that. Pros: it's opaque and tall (my 6'4" husband can't see over it unless he is standing against it) and I like the ability for the three pieces to stand separately of each other. Cons: it's flimsy. It wobbles and will tip over easily.

Great for the price
The item is great bit I wish it were a bit more sturdy and it folded flat. It folds into a square so it does take up some room when it's not in use.

Cheap, screw holes don't line up, screen is to short, and bars take WD-40 and a mallet
This has been my worst purchase on Amazon ever. DO NOT BUY. My first issue was that bars #4 and #5 would not go together, I ended up buying WD-40 and a mallet and that kind of got them together. Now I went to but the screen on (which is almost see thought) and the screen is to short. I can't attached the bottom bar to the tall bar. The screw hole is in the wrong spot, so the screen is not secure. No amount of pulling on the screen will make it grown .25" longer. Since I can't get the bars secure the walls are not steady and fall over easily. The feet did go together very nice. I can't return them according to Amazons policy. I bought 2 sets. I'm not going to try to build the other set I have. And I can't take apart the first set, since the bars are so tightly together. Also the polls have rust on them.

Very Poor Built Quality
Color: Black, Size: 3-Panel
They use cheap tarp like cloth that you might find on a tent, so it is not suitable as a teleconferencing background without blur applied. The legs are flimsy and lack rubber feet, so it will scratch floors. The tubing is flimsy and very hard to move and adjust. This is only good if you are setting it up somewhere like a gym or a garage.
