Description
Also called: Common Houseleek, Hens and Chicks, House Leek, or Roof House Leek. Grown it in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. While it will tolerate some light shade, it will need some afternoon shade in extremely hot sunny locations. It thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and will tolerate poor soils and some drought. To perform well it needs sharp soil drainage and avoid overwatering. Plants spread by offsets to form colonies. The original rosette is referred to as the hen, the offsets from that rosette are called the chick. Individual rosettes die after bloom and should be removed from the garden at that time. This plant is moderately salt tolerant. Sempervivum is often used in rock gardens, as a border front, in rock crevices, along stone walls, as a small area ground cover, and as an edging or foundations. They also make terrific container plants planted indoors or outdoors. Try planting them in a rock wall, with the plants tucked into the crevices which provides a good balance of drainage, radiant heat, and protect the plant's roots at the same time. Hens and chicks are at their best when planted in groups or massed as a ground cover.
