Sempervivum ‘Pleased’ is a cold-hardy Hens & Chicks succulent featuring tight, symmetrical rosettes in soft shades of green often brushed with rosy pink or deep burgundy at the tips. These charming clusters spread gently, creating a tapestry of color and texture that shifts with the seasons, adding lively visual interest to outdoor succulent gardens. This easy-care Sempervivum thrives in full sun, where its colors intensify, and prefers gritty, well-draining soil. It performs beautifully in containers, rock gardens, green roofs, or drought-tolerant landscapes, bringing a vibrant yet resilient presence to any setting.
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.
