Sempervivum
CHICKS AND HENS
SKU: 550-10
Description
Also known as 'Hens And Chicks' this mix of sempervivum includes various colors and sizes. Plant in a sunny location with good drainage.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 5 and up
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
