Sempervivum ‘Red Beauty’ — Red Hen and Chicks

Description

Sempervivum ‘Red Beauty’ is a hardy hen and chicks succulent with rich red-toned rosettes. The color can deepen when nights turn cool. It is a good choice for pots, rock gardens, walls, and dry beds.

How to Grow Red Beauty

Give this plant full sun for strong color and tight growth. 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. Do not leave the roots wet. A gritty cactus or succulent mix works well.

Easy Color for Mixed Pots

Small offsets form around the main rosette and make a wider clump over time. Pair it with Sempervivum ‘Black Rose’ for deeper color or Sempervivum ‘Jade Rose’ for a softer mix.

For another low-growing plant, Sedum ‘Ogon’ adds bright gold color and a different leaf shape.

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.
