Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the delightful "cobwebby" hens and chicks, this with particularly large, gray-green rosettes covered with webs of white hairs. A prolific species, quickly forming mats, to 8" wide, of tidy rosettes for the rock garden, for tucking into rock walls, any well drained spot in sun to light shade where summer water is provided occasionally. Also does well in containers. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.

An ever-so-fun version of “Hen’s and Chicks”. Fascinating and dense, light green cupped rosettes are flushed rosy-plum (with sun) and give birth freely to many offsets, or “chicks”, forming a ghostly,slowly spreading, solid mat.Each 3” wide rosette and “chick” covers itself with trippy Halloween-like cobwebby geometric patterns. Adorable 4” upright burgundy stems are topped with starry pink flowers in Summer that attract bees and butterflies. Infertile, well-drained soil. Great in rock gardens and containers. To 3” tall. Deer resistant.
