Director Jacobs Sempervivum Hens & Chicks Succulent - 4" pot

Director Jacobs is a dramatic color-changer: eye-catching red rosettes packed with cupped leaves and a heavy fringe of long white cilia that give the plant a frosty, jewel-like appearance. As winter sets in, the rosette closes into a tight ball and deepens to rich purple. Bright sunlight brings out its most vivid pigments.

Seasonal Notes:

Sempervivum succulents grow most actively in spring and summer. Incredibly frost-hardy, they overwinter happily under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.

The mother plant ("hen") sends off offsets ("chicks") that can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant. Do not fertilize. Space 6" apart.

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