Sempervivum 'Blue Boy' : One of the best blue cultivars available, changing from blue-grey in the summer to a rusty tone in winter. It has a very distinctive lilac heart, holds color, and produces ample offsets on hot pink stolons. On top of all that, it's even easy to grow!

Hens Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils 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. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily overwinter under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
