Highlights
Sempervivum tectorum 'Mettenianum': The robust growth habit of S. tectorum but with particularly impressive coloration. This rosette has a silvery green base color but can show warm tones of orange, pink, and red through the seasons. This forgiving grower is a treat to observe throughout the year.
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.
