Sempervivum ‘Relaxed’ is a hardy Hens & Chicks succulent with tidy rosettes that bring easy texture and seasonal color to outdoor succulent plantings. This low-maintenance, cold-hardy variety thrives in full sun, gritty well-draining soil, and containers, rock gardens, green roofs, or drought-tolerant landscapes.
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 85F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
