Highlights
Sempervivum arachnoideum: A very hairy and long leafed Sempervivum with a low growing rosette. This plant offsets quite profusely, giving rise to a silver and lime green clump given time. The hairs are meant to protect the plant from harsh sunlight, but the tips of the leaves do flush purple in enough of it.
After trials by the Royal Horticultural Society, S. arachnoideum tomentosum earned the Award of Garden Merit in 1993 and was reconfirmed in 2008.
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 lefts 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 85F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
