Sempervivium Kalinda is an excellent heat loving, drought tolerant rock garden favorite.
These red and green hens and chicks will darken to red in cool weather making them a year-round favorite in a pot,
that get festive for Christmas. The mother Hens are in bloom right now, and all their Chicks will bloom next summer.

Plant these fun, winter hardy succulents in well drained soil and full sun,
they even flourish in sandy soil or gravel. They just want drainage.
