Sempervivum tectorum var. ‘Commander Hay’


Hen-and-chicks

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.490.230


One of the most familiar garden perennials, yet never lacking in appeal. It forms a low clump of fleshy leaves, tiny new plants appearing in a circle around the mother in the middle. This selection has large rosettes of deep red, tipped with green during the warmer months. Short spikes of pastel flowers in summer. Extremely drought tolerant once established. Easily increased by just removing the small baby rosettes and replanting in a new location.
