Highlights
Sempervivum calcareum 'Greenii' (Baker): Smallest and greenest of all the S. calcareum varieties. The dark red tips make a nice contrast on this lime green rosette. This cultivar grows in small, neat colonies with prolific offsets, making it an exceptionally tidy clumper in a rock 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.
