Cobweb Houseleek (Sempervivum arachnoideum)

Native to high-altitude rocky screes across the European Alps and Pyrenees, this mat-forming alpine succulent is renowned for its architectural rosettes. Delicate white trichomes stretch between leaf tips, creating a dense cobweb-like canopy that reflects intense UV radiation and minimizes moisture loss. Individual monocarpic rosettes produce starry pink-red flowers on short cymes before dying, having already established a carpet of stoloniferous offsets.
