Product Details

Highlights

Sempervivum 'Red Lion' (Smits): A gorgeous Belgian cultivar of glossy red tones that maintains its color through the seasons. This low rosette of wide leaves is a resilient grower and can produce lots of offsets each spring. Occasionally, it will show variegated striations as well as wavy "watermarks".

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.
