Sempervivum 'Green Wheel' | Green Wheel Hens and Chicks

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Sempervivum 'Green Wheel' produces star-shaped clusters of pink flowers in summer, rising above the foliage on sturdy stems and attracting bees and other pollinators. Thick, fleshy leaves are arranged in symmetrical green rosettes with pointed tips, forming a dense carpet. The evergreen foliage maintains its neat appearance through the seasons, while the flowering stems add height and texture before the mature rosettes complete their life cycle.

Originating from hybrid breeding based on species native to the mountains of Europe, this cultivar reflects selection focused on ornamental form and year-round appeal. It is well suited to rock gardens, troughs, containers, and crevice plantings, where its sculptural rosettes and spreading habit provide lasting texture and seasonal interest.
