Sempervivum ‘Black Rose’ — Dark Hen and Chicks

Description

Sempervivum ‘Black Rose’ is a hardy hen and chicks succulent with dark burgundy rosettes. Cool weather can deepen the color. It grows well in pots, rock gardens, walls, and dry beds.

How to Grow Black Rose

Give this plant full sun for the darkest color and tightest shape. In very hot areas, light shade late in the day can help. Use soil that drains fast.

Water well, then let the soil dry before you water again. Wet roots can rot. A gritty cactus or succulent mix works well.

Great for Mixed Succulent Pots

Small offsets form around the main rosette and slowly make a wider clump. Pair it with Sempervivum ‘Jade Rose’ for a softer look or Sempervivum ‘Killer Green’ for bright green contrast.

For another low plant with a different texture, Sedum ‘Ogon’ adds gold color to mixed pots and beds.

Simple Care

• Light: Full sun to light afternoon shade.
• Water: Let the soil dry between drinks.
• Soil: Use a fast-draining mix.
• Habit: Low rosettes that spread by offsets.
• Best use: Pots, rock gardens, walls, and dry beds.
