Highlights
Sempervivum 'Commander Hay' (Earl): A popular cultivar for its vibrant, dynamic coloration. This rosette has lots of densely packed leaves that can vary between gold, pink, silver, and purple depending on the seasons and conditions. The foliage is lightly velvety, so it does not tolerate especially wet winters. This is a plant that looks good 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.
