Highlights
Sempervivum 'Thunder' (Skrocki): Has a distinctive form and color. It is a wide, open rosette with silvery green leaves tinged a rosy pink. This velvety cultivar turns a deep lavender in winter and in spring it produces offsets of long, hot pink stolons. This rooted plug ships without a pot.
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 overwinter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
