Sempervivum 'Red Lion Variegated'

Highlights

Sempervivum 'Red Lion Variegated' (Smits): A wilder version of Sempervivum 'Red Lion', both in shape and in color! The crimson of the original is shot through with shades of yellow and green, brightening up the colors significantly. Meanwhile, the margins of the leaves are jagged and erratic, giving the whole plant a fun interest.

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.
