Sempervivum 'Silverine'

Gardeners will often buy a plant based upon the color of the foliage and how it will blend with their overall garden design. Hens and Chicks could throw a spanner in the works because they frequently change color throughout the year, depending upon temperature, the amount of daylight, and even the amount of water they receive. 'Silverine' is typically a pale blue green during the growing season, but it will gain distinctly reddish tones during the colder, darker months. This variety is very prolific, sending out lots of chicks during the growing season. These will take over the space once the "hen" flowers then dies, forming rosettes up to 3 inches tall. Pollinators love the late season flowers, but deer and rabbits tend to avoid succulents.
