Sempervivum arachnoideum

Hens & chicks practically sell themselves, with their cuteness factor of 10, and fascinating shapes and textures. Throw in one with arachnoid in the name, and aptly so – it’s covered in cobweb-like filaments – and you’ve got the makings of a plant that will fascinate consumers.

Imagine the tags and POP that could accompany a cobweb hens & chicks. Although you could readily sell this to retailers for spring and summer sales, you could also market this for fall thanks to the plant’s gothic, Halloween-esque qualities.

Succulents continue to make the trend lists, and sales remain strong. Consider adding this species to your mix and have some fun on the marketing side.
