How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
4-6” tall x 8-10" wide and spreading. The evergreen rosettes of Kalinda Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum) bring unique texture to gardens and containers. These versatile beauties blend seamlessly into rock gardens, succulent gardens, and Mediterranean plantings. Tuck plants along the edges of a stone walkway for a unique groundcover or plant as a part of a living wall or green roof. Plants are exceptionally easy to grow provided they have a well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. Plants are drought tolerant once established and not bothered by deer or rabbits. The common name hens and chicks describes the interesting growth habit. Mature rosettes or “hens” produce a ring of tiny new rosette “chicks” each spring. These baby “chicks” can be moved to expand the planting, or remain in place to form undulating mounds. Once mature, mother hens flower and die, leaving room for her chicks to grow. Bygone rosettes can be removed after flowering by gently pulling at the base.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge.
