Highlights
Sempervivum 'Pacific Hep' is a resilient and eye-catching hardy succulent, known for its tight rosettes of pointed, fleshy leaves that shift in color from soft green at the base to deep burgundy or plum tones toward the tips. This cold-hardy hen-and-chicks variety forms attractive clusters over time, creating a vibrant, textural carpet that thrives in rock gardens, containers, or between stepping stones. Its coloration intensifies with sun exposure and seasonal changes, offering year-round visual interest. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, 'Pacific Hep' performs best in well-draining soil and full sun, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking beauty with durability in alpine or xeriscape designs. Fully rooted in 2" pot.
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.
