 Sempervivum Red Beauty - Chicks and Hens
  • Sempervivum Red Beauty - Chicks and Hens

    Sempervivum ‘Red Beauty’ (Hens & Chicks) is a delightful mat-forming succulent perennial. Here’s what you need to know about caring for it:

    • Appearance: It forms attractive, evergreen rosettes with fleshy, gray-green leaves adorned with blood-red tips. The color may vary seasonally1.
    • Growing Conditions:
      • Sunlight: Plant in full sun.
      • Soil: Well-draining soil or potting compost works best.
      • Watering: Little feeding or watering required.
      • Hardiness: Surprisingly cold hardy; it can survive near total neglect!
    • Propagation: Sempervivums produce new offsets (or “chicks”) on stolons. These offsets can be separated and replanted.
    • Flowering: Plants flower every few years in summer.
    • Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, succulent gardens, or Mediterranean-style landscapes. They also look great in decorative troughs and containers.
    • Pests and Diseases: Virtually pest and disease-free, but watch for rust, leaf rot, and root rot.
    • Deer and Rabbit Resistant: These little beauties are not on the menu for deer and rabbits.

    Remember to provide excellent drainage, and your ‘Red Beauty’ will thrive!
