Botanical Name: Sempervivum Colorockz® ‘Coconut Crystal’
Common Names: Coconut Crystal Hens and Chicks, Colorockz® Hens and Chicks
Sempervivum Colorockz® ‘Coconut Crystal’ is a compact, cold-hardy succulent cultivar developed from parent species native to Europe. Renowned for its ornamental appeal and seasonal color changes, it forms tight rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves with lime-green centers and wine-red or cranberry tones at the tips and margins. This dramatic color contrast intensifies in bright light, making it a standout addition to rock gardens, container arrangements, alpine-style plantings, or succulent collections. Its compact size and attractive growth habit make it ideal for small spaces, terraces, or table-top displays. Mature plants typically reach 2–3 inches tall and 4–6 inches wide, forming offsets that gradually create dense, visually striking clumps.
Care and Cultivation:
Prefers full sun to bright light for optimal coloration
Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings
Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus soil mix
Ideal for rock gardens, container arrangements, and alpine-style plantings
Ideal growing temperatures: 50–85°F (10–29°C)
Extremely low-maintenance and resilient
Frost Tolerance and Cold Hardiness:
Best suited for USDA Zones 4–9
Extremely cold-hardy; tolerates temperatures down to -20°F (-29°C) when soil is well-drained
Protect from prolonged wet conditions in winter
Winter Dormancy and Health:
Growth slows during cooler months
Reduce watering to prevent rot
Maintain bright light to preserve compact rosettes and vibrant leaf coloration
Notes:
Lime-green and red-toned leaves create dynamic, year-round visual interest
Forms offsets to create dense clumps over time
Extremely cold-hardy and low-maintenance
Perfect for rock gardens, alpine displays, container arrangements, and succulent collections
