Hardy Hens & Chicks 'Maroon Queen' (Sempervivum calcareum)

True to its name, Sempervivum 'Maroon Queen' reigns with quiet confidence in the garden. Turquoise leaves with deep maroon tips form the perfect rosettes that hold their rich color through the seasons, making this one of the most reliably beautiful hens-and-chicks varieties available. Like all Sempervivum, 'Maroon Queen' is remarkably cold-hardy and thrives in full sun with minimal water, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, green roofs, wall plantings, and container displays. As the mother rosette matures, it sends out a steady stream of offsets that fill in around it, creating a lush, jewel-toned carpet over time.
