Description

Sempervivum tectorum is a low-growing, evergreen perennial that produces rosettes. The parent rosette "hens" produce smaller rosettes called "chicks" or "chickens". The rosette is about 4" tall but will spread 2" wide. The foliage is red or green or a mixture of both. Flowers do arise from the center of the rosette and are 1' tall. This drought tolerant succulent looks great in rock gardens. It can be grown in full to partial sun but needs well-drained soil.
