Discover Sempervivum, remarkable perennial succulents known for their exceptional resilience and unique architectural form. Appreciated for their ability to thrive in challenging conditions with minimal care, Sempervivums are a fantastic choice for gardeners of all levels looking to add texture and lasting color to sunny spaces. Their name "Sempervivum" means "always living," a testament to their incredible hardiness.

Features

  • Foliage: The main characteristic of Hen and Chicks is their evergreen foliage arranged in compact rosettes. The leaves are fleshy and succulent, with colours and textures varying greatly depending on the species and variety, ranging from green to grey-blue, red, purple, or even coppery, often with contrasting tips.
  • Bloom: After a few years, a mature rosette produces an upright, often thick, flower stalk bearing star-shaped flowers that are typically pink or yellowish. The mother rosette dies after blooming, but the plant survives thanks to the numerous offsets (new rosettes) produced at its base. Flowering generally occurs in summer.
  • Light: Hen and Chicks thrive in full sun. They require at least 6 hours of direct sun per day to maintain a compact shape and vibrant colours.
  • Habit: They form clumps of low-spreading rosettes that propagate by producing offsets around the main rosette.
  • Growth: Growth occurs through the expansion of existing rosettes and the production of new small rosettes (offsets) that root around the mother plant.
  • Moisture: Their succulent nature gives them excellent drought tolerance. Excess moisture, especially combined with cold, is their main enemy. Impeccable drainage is therefore essential.
  • Soil: Soil must be extremely well-drained and preferably poor or of low to average fertility. They tolerate rocky or sandy soils and dislike heavy or clay soils that retain moisture.
  • Temperature: Hen and Chicks are among the hardiest succulents. Most species and cultivars are hardy in zones 3 to 8, making them perfectly suited to harsh Quebec winters.
  • Watering: Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. They require virtually no watering in fall and winter, especially if planted in the ground.

Uses

  • Types of Use: Ideal for rock gardens, green roofs, dry stone walls, crevices between pavers, containers (pots, troughs, planters), and as groundcover in dry, sunny locations. They are perfect for difficult areas where soil is shallow or dry.
  • Decorative Features: Their geometric rosette shapes and varied colours offer constant visual appeal throughout the year. They add texture and architectural interest to the landscape.

Care

  • Fertilizing: Generally, no fertilization is needed and can even harm their hardiness and compact shape. If the soil is extremely poor, a light application in spring can be done.
  • Pruning: The only maintenance required is to remove faded flower stalks after blooming and clean up dead rosettes. This allows new rosettes to develop better.

Planting

  • Spacing: Spacing depends on the desired effect. For a dense mat quickly, space rosettes about 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) apart. To let plants spread naturally, wider spacing is possible.
  • Depth: Plant so the base of the rosette is at soil level or slightly above, ensuring good root contact with well-drained soil.
  • When to Plant: Spring and early fall are the ideal times for planting Hen and Chicks.

No problems after a year and a half
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Have been regularly buying these for my corgi for about a year and a half. The 2 pack lasts about a month or 2 each time. Pieces break off in small enough pieces that they safely pass through his digestive system. He gnaws each one down to about 1/4 the original size before we take it away and give him a new one. He continues to have regular bowel movements and has a healthy appetite so I can’t imagine any problems arising after so long. I have tried other alternatives and every other similar chew breaks off in larger pieces and didn’t feel comfortable letting him chew/eat them. I noticed there are a few 1 star reviews saying their dogs got sick off these but after a year and a half I have had 0 issues with this product. I guess it depends on the dog and how big of pieces they are swallowing. My dog ingests pieces about the size of a grain of rice so just pay attention and you should be fine.

Long lasting and safer alternative to sticks
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
These are great, very durable, and have lasted a very long time. Much safer for my dogs than the random sticks they find in the yard. They do get shorter with chewing eventually, but they don't break off in little chunks like I've seen with some nylon chews, and they don't splinter like wood. Medium size works well for both my 16 lb Cavalier and my 60 lb Pyrenees/Golden mix. They're both moderate-to-aggressive chewers, though size obviously affects how much damage they can do. I wish you could buy the hemp chew separately because that one is very much a favorite in my house, so after 2 years and 2 purchases, I have barely any left of the remaining hemp chew, but still 2 of the dogwood chews that neither dog is as interested in anymore. I'd love to buy a couple more of just the hemp one.

Your dog will thank you.
Color: Dogwood & Fresh Breath, Size: Large
My dogs loves to chew on these. They make a small mess but not as bad as other chews. They are food for keeping teeth clean.

Nice chew toy
Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium, Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium
Super durable and puppy loves it. It was a bit hard for her at first but now at 5 months it’s one of her favorite things to gnaw on! It is heavy for the size but seems to be great quality and has given many hours of chew time with minimal wear.
