Sempervivum SuperSemp ‘Amethyst’ – 1 Live Cold Hardy Succulent | Hens & Chicks | 3.5-Inch Display Size | Outdoor Rock Garden Plant

Add rich seasonal color and classic rosette form to your succulent collection with Sempervivum SuperSemp ‘Amethyst’. This cold-hardy Hens & Chicks cultivar is prized for its attractive foliage coloration, vigorous growth, and ability to produce offsets that gradually develop into clusters of rosettes.

Sempervivum are exceptionally well suited to outdoor succulent gardens, rock gardens, alpine displays, containers, and sunny landscape borders. SuperSemp ‘Amethyst’ develops its strongest coloration when provided with abundant sunlight, although foliage colors naturally shift throughout the seasons in response to temperature, light, and growth stage.

This cultivar readily produces offsets, commonly called “chicks,” around the established parent rosette or “hen.” With suitable conditions, these offsets gradually create an attractive spreading succulent colony.

The plant is shown growing in a 3.5-inch nursery pot for size reference. Most plants are shipped bare root without the nursery pot or soil.
