Highlights
Sempervivum arachnoideum ssp. tomentosum: This S. arachnoideum is very heavily cobwebbed with 3/4" plants. It gets many tiny chicks on short stolons. They make nice neat clumps and have a slight rosy cast. Can flush lightly purple in spring.
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.
