Plant & Care

Plant in gritty, well‑draining soil and place in full sun for best colour. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between watering. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain neatness. Protect from excessive winter rain by ensuring good drainage. Sempervivums are hardy and multiply by producing offsets, creating charming clusters over time.

Did You Know?

Sempervivums are often called “hens and chicks” because the main rosette (the hen) produces smaller rosettes (the chicks) around it. A natural way of multiplying and filling your garden with colour.
