'Coconut Crystal' Hen and Chick Succulent (Sempervivum)

Ready for your new favourite Sempervivum? Good! Sempervivum Colorockz™ Coconut Crystal is sure to capture your eye and steal your heart. This beauty of a succulent provides gardens with year round bi-color. During springtime, it brightens borders and rooftops with lime green and red hues which will fade throughout the growing season to a spectacular cream and wine-red color combination.

Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-drained soil and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.

Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
