Sempervivum ‘Santino’ is a hardy Hens & Chicks succulent with tight, rosette-shaped growth and rich seasonal color that brings eye-catching texture to rock gardens, containers, and outdoor succulent arrangements. This frost-hardy, drought-tolerant variety is easy to grow in full to partial sun and produces offsets that spread into charming clusters over time.

Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.

Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
