Highlights
Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Silver Jamin': A sweet, miniature variety with a woolly coat. This variety naturally grows a thick covering of white cotton. Each rosette is tiny, but has the capacity to produce lots of new offsets. Eventually, they develop into dense, extensive colonies. The woolly covering does make S. arachnoideum more susceptible to rot, so it's best to add a layer of gravel top dressing to separate the leaves from the soil.
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.
