Prized for their colorful rosettes, the plants are striking from spring through summer, and retain their attractive color even during winter dormancy.

Sunlight intensifies the vibrant colors of Sempervivum. Plants grown in full shade or indoors away from direct sunlight may fade to green. In hot summer climates, afternoon shade can preserve coloration. Soil fertility, pH, moisture, structure, plant age, and other environmental factors also affect coloration. These plants are very versatile and easy to care for.
Indoors, Hens & Chicks require a sunny window and watering only when the soil is dry. Their resilience and low-maintenance needs make them ideal for beginners. These succulents bring vibrant colors to any collection.
