Description
1-2" tall x 4-6" wide and spreading. Perfect for tucking, plant Sunset Sempervivum as a unique groundcover among flagstone pathways or nestle into nooks along a stone wall. Hens and chicks also make a good addition to living walls and green roof plantings, as well as stylish container specimens. Plants have a unique growth pattern with each mature rosette or hen sending out small rosettes or chicks each spring. In this way, plants grow into dense clumps. Hens live for about three years before sending up a large, thick flower stalk bearing star-shaped blooms. Hens die after flowering, making space for the developing chicks to take over and begin making their own offsets to continue he cycle. Plants are easy to grow, but require well-drained soil. Gravel or sandy mixes work well for containers. This low maintenance plant is deer resistant and drought tolerant once established.
Planting & Care
Shipping
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.
