Highlights
Sempervivum 'Shirley's Joy' (Moore): A super fuzzy cultivar with long cilia coating its green to red leaves. It produces lots of offsets on long stolons, almost like spiders in a web. This variety is a hybrid of S. arachnoideum x S. marmoreum and earned the Bronze Rosette Award from the Sempervivum Society in 1976.
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 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.
