Sempervivum, Montfort, Hens And Chicks – Pot Size: 3′ (2.6×3.5′) – Alpine Plants, Hen & Chicks

Sempervivum, Montfort, Hens And Chicks: You will love these succulent perennial plants that are relatively easy-to-grow and absolutely beautiful. Popular in today’s xeriscape gardens, rooftop gardens, and trough gardens, they need sharply-draining, gritty soil and full, hot sun. You can even grow them in pure gravel! If planting outside, you can use old, hard clay. Just remember to mound the plants so that they will achieve good drainage. Avoid wood chips and bark, as they can rot the plants. Expect the neat rosettes to multiply freely by runners that form dense colonies. After they flower, the rosettes will die, but they are quickly replaced. The green color changes to red when it is planted outside and the temperatures are getting cooler.
