Sempervivum 'Commander Hay'

Hens And Chicks

Commander Hay hens and chicks forms low clusters of succulent rosettes. Green and purple-red leaf colors change with the season, and pink flowers rise above mature rosettes. A flowering rosette dies after blooming, while its offsets continue the colony.

Provide sun or partial sun and sharply drained soil. Avoid prolonged wetness, especially in winter. Its low growth suits a rock garden or a container with drainage holes.
