Highlights
Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Rubrum': An adoarble miniature variety of Hens & Chicks. It grows piles of tiny rosettes that can flush bright red and grow a heavy white cobweb covering. With sunny, outdoor growing, it can develop into tight, mounding clusters.
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily overwinter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
