Product Details
Highlights
Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Kappa': A small rosette with a thick covering of white, cottony wool or "webbing". This attractive cultivar often shows brick red to burgundy tones contrasted with bright green. It produces lots of offsets on long stolons and can form impressive, mounding colonies. Like other webbed varieties, it can tolerate more sun and thrives with a rocky top dressing or gravel between its leaves and the soil.
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.
