Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Baby Star'

Highlights

Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Baby Star' (Smits): A lime green to red, furry beauty with a strong clumping habit. Silvery hairs grow all over the rosettes and become thicker in bright sunlight. Great for crevice gardens or other rocky areas of the garden.

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 thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
