Sempervivum ‘Pacific Rim’


Hen-and-chicks

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.490.490


One of the most familiar garden perennials, yet never lacking in appeal. These form a low cushion of fleshy leaves, tiny new plants appearing in a circle around the mother in the middle. This selection produces medium rosettes of fuzzy grey-green leaves tipped with crimson. Short spikes of pastel flowers in summer. Although they will grow nearly anywhere, these prefer the sort of well-drained conditions found in a sunny rock garden or wall. Worth trying in any sort of container, even an old shoe! Clumps may be divided at any time.
