Grape Galaxy™ Hens & Chicks - Sempervivum -Indoors/Out- 3.5" Pot -Chick Charms®

Sempervivum are succulent, rosette forming plants belonging to the Crassulaceae family. They are commonly known as Hens & Chicks, Houseleeks or Hen and Chickens. The main attraction of these plants is their colourful rosettes of leaves. The rosettes are most striking in the spring and summer but even in the winter when growth stops, many varieties remain attractively coloured. It is the endless range of different leaf shapes, colours and textures that make this group so interesting to enthusiasts. Sempervivum Grape Galaxy is a dapper new addition to the Chick Charms collection of Hen and Chicks. Silvery-grey leaves are edged with deep burgundy. On close inspection, each leaf is trimmed with a neat row of tiny white hairs. Sempervivum Grape Galaxy forms open rosettes that are quite distinct, and best observed up close. Sunlight brings out bright colors in Sempervivums. When planted in full shade or grown indoors away from a sunny window, many varieties tend to fade to a plain green color. However, in hotter weather during the summer and in the southern United States, afternoon shade can actually help plant colors last longer. The soil’s fertility, pH, moisture and structure, as well as the temperature and age of the plant (some take up to three years for full color) also effect coloration. Indoors, Hens & Chicks should be grown in a sunny window and watered when dry.
