Highlights
Sempervivum 'Othello' (Sponnier) is a large, vigorous cultivar with a lovely bright red color and a deeper heart. Its offsets grow on long, thick stolons and after several year a rosette can produce a large, red bloom.
After trials by the Royal Horticultural Society, S. 'Othello' earned the Award of Garden Merit in 2008.
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 lefts 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 85F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
