Sempervivum ‘Kalinda’


Hen-and-chicks

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.489.100


One of the most familiar garden perennials, yet never lacking in appeal. These form low cushions or mounds of fleshy leaves, tiny new plants appearing in a circle around the mother in the middle. This selection produces medium-sized rosettes of green leaves with coral-pink tips, becoming more tawny in summer. Short spikes of pink flowers appear in summer, though many gardeners just remove these. Extremely drought tolerant once established. To start more plants simply remove a small chick or two and stick them on the soil surface at a new location.
