Sempervivum 'Oddity' Hens & Chicks, 4" Pot Live Plant
Sempervivum ‘Oddity’ (also known as Sempervivum tectorum ‘Oddity’) is an unusual succulent that lives up to its name. Here are some key details about it:
- Leaves: The leaves of Sempervivum ‘Oddity’ curl into tube-like quills that are open at the ends. They are a lime green color with red to purple tips.

- Award: Oddity earned the Sempervivum Society’s Bronze Rosette Award in 1978.
- Care: To thrive, it needs plenty of outdoor sunlight, well-draining soil, and pots with drainage holes. It produces new offsets or “chicks” on stolons, which can be left to form tidy clusters or removed for sharing and transplanting.
- Hardiness: It is frost-hardy and can thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow.
- Bloom: It blooms very infrequently, and the flowers are pink.
- Hardiness Zones: Sempervivum ‘Oddity’ is hardy in zones 5 to 10 (down to -20°F).
- Maximum Height: It stays under 3 inches in height.
- Seasonality: It blooms in summer and remains evergreen throughout the year.
- Special Characteristic: Easy to propagate and pet-safe.
Remember to protect it from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot. If temperatures exceed 80°F, provide afternoon shade.
