Sempervivum hybridum 10.5cm

Sempervivum hybridum, often known as hens and chicks, is a charming and resilient succulent perfect for rock gardens, containers, or alpine-style borders. This hardy perennial forms tight rosettes of fleshy, pointed leaves that range in colour from soft green to rich burgundy, often with striking patterns or tips. The compact, low-growing habit makes it ideal for filling gaps between stones or creating textured ground cover.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained, gritty soil, Sempervivum is incredibly drought-tolerant and requires minimal care, making it a fantastic choice for gardeners wanting a tough, decorative plant with low maintenance needs. It produces small star-shaped flowers on slender stalks during summer, attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.

Thanks to its evergreen nature and ability to multiply quickly via offsets, Sempervivum hybridum offers year-round interest and an ever-expanding display of colour and form.

These compact plants look best when grouped together with other varieties for a striking display.
