Growing Requirements

Hens and Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets, or “chicks,” on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant. Sempervivum do most of their growing in spring and summer and thrive with weekly watering. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily overwinter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rain and standing water to prevent rot.
