Hybridized by Ed Skrocki and registered in 1980, 'Virgil' is lovely, medium-sized rosette that shifts between blue, lavender, pink, and silver tones. It has distinctive "watermarks" or wavy striations from its protective coating of epicuticular wax. This variety deepens to a royal purple in winter.
Like most Hen & Chicks Plants, Virgil needs plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and unglazed pots with drainage holes. They also produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to transplant or share with friends and fellow gardeners.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer and will thrive with weekly watering allowing soil to dry between waterings. 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.
