Sempervivum atlanticum, also known as Moroccan Houseleek, is a sweet, naturally occurring species that is easy to grow outdoors. This forgiving grower forms tight, green rosettes and thrives in rock beds and containers. It produces lots of offsets on short stolons, quickly developing into a dense clump.
Also known as Hens & Chicks, this succulent needs plenty of outdoor sunlight to maintain its tight rosette shape. It thrives in gritty, well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes. It grows most in the spring and summer, benefiting from weekly watering and afternoon shade when temperatures exceed 80°F. This plant is incredibly frost-hardy and will happily thrive through winter. To prevent rot, protect it from heavy rains and standing water.
