HENS AND CHICKS Sempervivum Hardy Succulents

Winter hardy, drought tolerant succulents for the outdoor garden?! Yep! Hens and chicks are some of my absolute favorite succulents to plant outside in my garden here in Pennsylvania. Also known as Sempervivum, these rosette forming succulents have the perfect geometry that makes them so stunning in the garden. You can tuck them in all around the yard. They're great in rocky areas. They're very winter hardy and drought tolerant. And the good varieties will even change colors throughout the year. All the while producing tons of baby plantlets! They're garden stars! #hensandchicks #succulents #sempervivum

Hi Devlin, what a nice video, the varieties you are showing are gorgeous...Lucky you to have all those wonderful P.A. rocks to artfully tuck them into! 🤗🌱

I love the way you have planted your hens and chicks in crevaces in your gardens. It looks great, and I love the red colors of the plants. I have them growing all around my gardens, both in ground, and in pots. They are very easy to grow. Thanks for another great video.

Nice I like the ones growing out of the rock wall

This is so helpful! I took several of my friends tall flower stalks. Fortunately I also got some of the babies! Since it doesn’t seem like that incredible flower produces any babies. Thank you!

I ordered 4 sets this year and I planted some in a hanging basket that have openings all around it, I sure hope it works well for me, yours look awesome.

Hens and chicks! I also saw your butterfly bush, I want one of those as well!! THANKS!!!! My Jade and Christmas cactus plants, by the way, are doing very well outside on the deck. I put them out for a few hours for a few days and now they are out all the time. thanks!!!!

I never knew what sedum was but found two types on my road, sort of in the woods. I took a small amount and planted it in my yard. The next winter the snow plows cut through the patch that was there and it was gone. Glad I saved some because now they are ground cover all over my yard, especially in the rocky areas. One type flowers yellow and the others reddish-pink.

I add sand to my potting mix in a terra cotta pot for my Hens and chicks . I hope that is a good thing to do! It’s for drainage . I also add slow release fertilizer

You are the best I live in Toronto zone 6B yesterday I bought a pot of hens and chicks for 50% off, looking for a location, I got good ideas, thanks and I subscribed to you now, thanks for sharing,

Love this video.
I'm seeking the clay pots where the plant grows out of the spaces on pot?

[mikearmstrong]

Good video. What was the name of the changing color hen, & chicks? So you saying after the mama plant flowers she dies? Ty

[gmatt]

I wish I could take care of hens and chicks like you but we don't have good luck with them they always dry out at some point, then by the fall their gone. But I really love the plant tho.

I have an indoor pot of Hen and Chick. How is it best to care for it. Some of them have dried leaves, should they be removed? Chick's are everywhere. How often and how much do I water them? Thx C

[darrinlindsey]

Do the Hens stay alive if the babies are constantly trimmed off?
