DESCRIPTION

Sempervivum 'Commander Hay' is a captivating, cold-hardy succulent prized for its striking rosettes. This hens and chicks variety is adored for its architectural form and color that deepens with sun exposure, making it a low-maintenance star for rock gardens, containers, and green roofs. It thrives in poor, well-drained soil with minimal water, slowly spreading to form a dense, textured mat.

PLANTING & CARE

Thrives in full sun to light shade. Requires very well-drained, sandy or gritty soil; excellent drainage is critical. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Extremely drought and cold tolerant once established. Remove spent 'hen' rosettes after flowering to encourage 'chicks'.
