Product Details

Highlights

Sempervivum globiferum ssp. hirtum 'Emerald Spring' (Vaughn: An easy-to-grow, spiky-looking rosette with narrow, green leaves and red tips. A waxy cuticle can line the leaves with gorgeous watermarks. Cold, short days induce the rosette to flush with orange and burgundy tones. In spring, the small, spherical offsets of 'Emerald Spring' roll right off the mother plant and put down roots where they stop. This cultivar was bred from S. globiferum hirtum 'Histoni'.

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.
