Sempervivum Peggy

Low-maintenance, vigorous, and brightly colored! Succulents are the latest trend in gardening, so jump on the band wagon and stock up on this vibrant beauty! In spring, leaves are purple and transition to deep red in summer. Fall and winter colors are more subdued, ranging from mahogany to brown. Deer and rabbits avoid it so you never have to worry about nibbled foliage. Low-maintenance and fuss free, succulents require infrequent watering and little amount of sunlight so they are great for novice growers and those with little time for maintaining plants. It will stand out in a container or desert garden. Particularly effective when planted in the cracks and crevices of stone walls or walkways! Grow in full sun for best results.

Sempervivum is comprised of one large rosette called the "hen" which sprouts many smaller rosettes around it called "chicks". As the plants age, the "hen" may die out and be replaced by the "chicks". Plants can be divided easily at any time by simply pulling up some of the "chicks" and replanting them elsewhere!
