Highlights
Sempervivum 'Butterpat' (Smits): One of the striking, metallic cultivars of Sempervivum. 'Butterpat' has a silvery green base tone but takes on a decidedly lilac look through most of the year. Cold, snowy winters even cause it to turn completely purple. A strong grower that shows something interesting in every season.
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.
