6 Bare-Root Sempervivum Mix (Hens & Chicks Collection)

Add effortless, rugged beauty to your garden with our bare-root Sempervivum mix (affectionately known as Hens & Chicks). Hand-selected straight from our nursery, these iconic rosette-forming succulents are famous for their tight geometric shapes, incredible resilience, and classic rustic charm.

Because they are shipped bare-root (without soil or pots), they arrive ready to be tucked immediately into your favorite garden beds, rock walls, or patio containers.

Why You’ll Love Them:
Unstoppable Cold Hardiness: These are incredibly tough survivors. They are completely frost-hardy (down to USDA Zone 3) and can stay outdoors year-round, happily thriving even under winter snow.

Low Maintenance, High Reward: These plants thrive on neglect. Once established in well-draining soil, they require very little water and love basking in the sun.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving: True to their name, the central "Hen" will naturally produce clusters of smaller "Chicks" on runners every season, quickly multiplying to fill in bare spaces and rock crevices beautifully.

What’s Included:
6 Healthy, Bare-Root Sempervivums: A curated pack of hardy rosettes ready to plant. Please note that sizes and colors will vary.

The Jovibarba Bonus: Depending on availability, you may receive a beautiful Jovibarba Heuffelii tucked into your mix!

🌞 Seasonal Color & Summer Note:
Please keep in mind that during the peak summer months, Sempervivums naturally shift into a dormant period to protect themselves from the heat, causing their colors to look a bit muted or dull. The photos shown represent their peak, vibrant shades, but your exact plants may look different upon arrival depending on the season and what is healthiest when we hand-pick your order. Don't worry—they are completely healthy and will wake up to show off their deep, vibrant tones again as soon as the weather cools down!

🏜️ Arizona Summer Shipping Notice
We ship our plants directly from the Arizona desert heat. While Sempervivums are exceptionally tough, the shipping journey during the hotter months can still be stressful. We strongly recommend choosing Expedited Shipping at checkout to ensure they spend as little time in a hot delivery truck as possible and arrive ready to plant!

Quick Planting Instructions:
Unpack Promptly: Gently shake off any loose transit material. Don't worry if the bottom leaves look a little dry or closed up—this is the plant's natural defense mechanism during summer transit.

Plant: Nestle the bare roots into a well-draining cactus/succulent soil mix or a gritty rock garden bed.

Settle In: Give them a light watering and place them in bright, indirect light or filtered afternoon shade for a week to acclimate before transitioning them into full sun.
