Park Seed Sempervivum Hens & Chicks

Bareroot plants arrive without soil around their roots, which is a standard and healthy way to ship succulents. Upon arrival, you should plant them promptly in well-draining soil to help them establish their root systems quickly.

This variety is hardy in zones 3 through 8, meaning it can withstand cold winters across most of the United States. It is an evergreen perennial, so it will maintain its structure and provide interest even during the colder months.

For the best color and compact growth, this plant requires full sun. If planted in too much shade, the rosettes may stretch out and lose their vibrant blue-green hue.

No, this plant is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. Its succulent texture and architectural form generally make it unappealing to common garden pests.

These plants naturally produce 'chicks,' or small offsets, around the base of the main 'hen.' You can easily propagate them by gently separating these offsets from the parent plant and replanting them in a new spot.

Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for cacti or succulents. Since these plants prefer a slightly acidic soil pH between 5.8 and 6.5, avoid heavy garden soils that hold too much moisture.
