Description
Sempervivum Colorokz® 'Coconut Crystal' forms a pretty bicolour rosette, filled with glossy leaves of intense purplish red fading into cream or soft green tips. This houseleek is a little gem for rockeries, low walls, planters or green roofs. Ultra hardy, drought-tolerant and almost foolproof, it grows equally well in pots or in the ground with good drainage. Perfect in a rockery, it adds to succulent plant displays and requires very little maintenance.
Sempervivum Colorockz® 'Coconut Crystal' belongs to the Crassulaceae family, a group of succulent plants that are cold-hardy. This houseleek cultivar is also known by the synonym Sempervivum 'Belsemmag1' and is part of the very hardy Colorockz® series, known for its bicolour rosette varieties which multiply rapidly into colonies. This variety was obtained by the Belgian company Belgicactus bvba and introduced to the market in the early 2020s. It is the result of breeding work from Sempervivum tectorum subsp. atlanticum, the Atlas houseleek, and other related species. It is a perennial plant with a ground-covering habit, with evergreen foliage, forming a compact rosette about 10 cm in diameter and 4 cm tall, comparable to an artichoke. Its growth is rather rapid, and it actively produces stolons that allow it to colonise its environment over time. The leaves are fleshy, spatulate and an intense purplish red, with tips coloured soft green or cream depending on the season. Flowering occurs from late spring to summer on mature rosettes. A flower stalk bearing small, pink to bright pink, star-shaped flowers emerges from the heart of the rosette. As with all Sempervivum, the rosette dies back after flowering. Its shallow root system is extremely sturdy and perfectly adapted to rocky or very well-draining substrates.
Houseleek Colorockz® ‘Coconut Crystal’ is proof that poor soil and a rocky setting can also host pretty specimens with vivid colours. This little plant enjoys full sun wherever the soil is shallow, where few plants survive. If your soil is poor, rocky, or rather dry, plant it between stones or on a green roof. Also, use it to create artistic displays in pots, especially in low pots like bonsai containers. Mix several varieties to create mosaics. These miniature perennials soon inspire a desire to collect and propagate them. Think about choosing companions such as creeping or carpeting sedums (Sedum album, Sedum spurium, Sedum oreganum), creeping thymes (Thymus praecox 'Purple Beauty') or even dwarf artemisias (Artemisia schmidtiana 'Nana'). In a pot, combine it with other houseleeks from the Colorockz® series for a variety of volumes and colours.

Planting and care
Sempervivum 'Coconut Crystal' enjoys sunny positions and perfectly drained, moist to dry, poor soils. You can plant it in spring or autumn in open ground or in a container, adding gravel or coarse sand to the planting substrate. Conversely, if you place it in a rock garden or on a low wall, give it a little potting compost to help it establish. After that, it will manage on its own.
If you wish to propagate it, simply cut off a few juvenile rosettes and replant them elsewhere, barely covering the roots. Care for it by ensuring it is not overwhelmed by taller plants, that it does not become covered with dead leaves or plant debris, and by removing any faded small inflorescences if necessary.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
