Sempervivum succulents are fondly known as hens and chicks because of mama rosette's penchant for producing lots of cluster-creating babies (chicks). They're also known as houseleeks. Your new plants will arrive in 2 inch grower pots. Sempervivum succulents are beloved for their easy-going, resilient nature, cold hardiness and drought tolerance. They may blush eye-catching shades during periods of dryness or cool to cold temperatures. They feature interesting forms and textures, as well, with a few types boasting cobweb-like hairs. These tough succulents welcome the cold once established and even a blanket of insulating snow, but they appreciate some shade when the warmth of the sun exceeds 80° F or so. Sempervivums produce stalks of adorable little flowers and while that signals the end of a blooming rosette's life, there should be several perky chicks ready to take up the mantle. Beautiful rosette form, colors and textures. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Hardy to USDA cone 5°F/minus 20°F, particularly for those planted in the ground.
