  •   Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' is a hardy hens and chicks succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, beloved by gardeners for its toughness and low maintenance appeal. Native to mountainous regions of Europe and western Asia, sempervivums naturally colonize rocky, well-drained slopes where most plants refuse to grow. This frost hardy perennial has been cultivated and selected over generations into the striking cultivar known as Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows'.

      Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes in deep burgundy and shadowy purple tones that intensify beautifully in strong sunlight. The fleshy, pointed leaves are packed into a neat clustering habit, with each mother rosette steadily producing offsets that spread outward to form a dense, evergreen groundcover. The rich dark red rosette coloring and compact form make Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' one of the most visually striking hens and chicks succulents available.

      Like all sempervivums, Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' may benefit from a nighttime temperature drop to trigger blooming, a natural cue that mimics its mountain origins. When mature rosettes do flower, the bloom stalk rises dramatically from the center before the hen gives way to its surrounding chicks. This monocarpic flowering habit is part of what makes Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' such a fascinating, ever-renewing succulent to grow.

      Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' is an incredibly versatile drought tolerant succulent that thrives on neglect, making it perfect for rock gardens, alpine troughs, container displays, and balcony arrangements. It handles wind, rain, and outdoor autumn conditions with ease, and can move outside for summer without skipping a beat. This plant is pet friendly, so there is no worry placing it anywhere the whole family roams. Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' even survives a 10-day trip without a caretaker, making it the ideal low maintenance succulent for busy plant lovers and collectors alike.

  •   Sempervivum 'Pacific Shadows' thrives in full sun to partial sun, with at least four to six hours of direct light daily for the richest color.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
