- Appearance: This green rosette can turn pink to brick red. Each mother plant produces a circle of new offsets (called “chicks”) on short stolons at its base. As it grows, it develops into a dense, mounding colony.
- Sunlight Requirements: Hens & Chicks thrive in outdoor sunlight. They need plenty of sun exposure to display their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form.
- Soil and Watering: They prefer gritty, well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes. Weekly watering is recommended, especially during spring and summer. If temperatures exceed 80°F, provide afternoon shade.
- Hardiness: Sempervivum ‘Mona Lisa’ is frost-hardy and can thrive through winter under a blanket of snow.
- Propagation: You can leave the chicks to form tidy clusters or remove them to share and transplant.
- Size: Maximum rosette size is 3"-4", and the plant’s height stays under 3".
- Zones: Hardy in zones 5-10 (down to -20°F).
Consider planting it in rock gardens, containers, or tucked into crevices for a charming display!
