Highlights
Sempervivum 'Dame Arsac' (van der Steen): A sweet cultivar that can be tough to find in collections. It often has a soft green center and can get vibrant flushings of peach, pink, and purple. It has a coating of natural wax that helps it tolerate full sun and gives the appearance of wavy "watermarks". This is a medium grower that produces lots of chicks each summer.
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.
