Sempervivum ‘Jade Rose’ — Hen and Chicks Succulent

Description

Sempervivum ‘Jade Rose’ is a hardy hen and chicks succulent with neat green rosettes. Cool weather can bring out soft rose-red tones. It is easy to grow in pots, rock gardens, and dry beds.

How to Grow Jade Rose

Give this plant full sun for the best shape and color. In very hot areas, light shade late in the day can help. Use a pot or bed that drains fast.

Let the soil dry before you water again. Wet soil can cause rot. A gritty cactus or succulent mix works well.

A Hardy, Spreading Succulent

The main rosette is the “hen.” Small rosettes, or “chicks,” form around it and slowly make a wider clump. If you like this growth habit, see our Sempervivum ‘Reinhardt’ and Sempervivum ‘Killer Green’.

For a different low-growing succulent, Sedum ‘Ogon’ adds bright gold color to pots and mixed plantings.

Simple Care

• Light: Full sun to light afternoon shade.
• Water: Water well, then let the soil dry.
• Soil: Use a fast-draining mix.
• Habit: Low rosettes that form new offsets.
• Best use: Pots, rock gardens, walls, and dry beds.
