Seasonal Notes:

Sempervivum succulents grow most actively in spring and summer. Incredibly frost-hardy, they overwinter happily under a blanket of snow. Note: Sempervivums are monocarpic — the mother rosette ("hen") dies after flowering, but not before sending off plenty of offsets ("chicks") to carry on. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.

Chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant. Heat, humidity, drought, and shade tolerant. Deer and critter resistant. Do not fertilize.

Suggested Use: Rock gardens, trough gardens, wall crevices, cottage gardens, groundcover, edging, and containers.
