  •   Sempervivum 'Averil' is a cold hardy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, beloved by growers for its toughness and charm. Native to the mountains of Europe and parts of Asia, sempervivums have thrived in rocky, alpine terrain for centuries, earning the nickname hens and chicks for their clustering rosette habit.

      Sempervivum 'Averil' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with fleshy leaves in rich green and burgundy tones, edged with fine silvery cilia that catch the light beautifully. The rosettes multiply freely, sending out offsets that cluster around the mother plant in an ever-expanding colony. It is a compact yet enthusiastic spreader, making each pot or garden patch look more impressive every season.

      Like all sempervivums, Sempervivum 'Averil' is monocarpic, meaning each individual rosette blooms once and then gives way to its surrounding offsets, ensuring the colony carries on. The plant is also wonderfully pet friendly, so you can display it anywhere in your home without worry.

      Sempervivum 'Averil' is a dream for rock gardens, alpine troughs, containers, and balcony planters, handling wind and rain with ease outdoors. It can move outside for summer and stays out well into autumn, and as a genuine frost tolerant succulent it overwinters outdoors in a wide range of climates. This low maintenance succulent is also drought tolerant, surviving happily if you go away for ten days or more, and it handles the dry heated air of winter interiors without complaint.

  •   Sempervivum 'Averil' thrives in partial sun to full sun, ideally getting four or more hours of direct light daily.

      Water Sempervivum 'Averil' deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, roughly every ten to fourteen days indoors.

      Sempervivum 'Averil' performs best in a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with extra perlite or grit to prevent root rot.

      Sempervivum 'Averil' tolerates a wide range, from about 65-80°F (18-27°C) in summer down to frost-hardy lows, surviving well below 32°F (0°C).

      Sempervivum 'Averil' grows at a moderate pace and rarely needs fertilizer, though a light balanced feed in spring can encourage offset production.

      Sempervivum 'Averil' is hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, tolerating winter temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) in the coldest zones, which makes it one of the most frost tolerant succulents available. This covers an enormous range of the United States, including Alaska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico. Gardeners growing Sempervivum 'Averil' in all of these states can expect reliable outdoor performance year-round without winter protection.

    Q: How big does Sempervivum 'Averil' get?
    A: Individual rosettes of Sempervivum 'Averil' typically reach two to four inches across, though the clustering colony spreads wider over time. It is a compact grower that fills containers and rock gardens beautifully.

    Q: How do I propagate Sempervivum 'Averil'?
    A: Sempervivum 'Averil' propagates effortlessly from the offsets, or chicks, that form naturally around the mother rosette. Simply detach a chick once it has its own small roots and pot it up or plant it directly in the garden.

    Q: Can Sempervivum 'Averil' grow on a balcony?
    A: Absolutely. Sempervivum 'Averil' handles balcony wind and rain with ease, making it a great low maintenance succulent for outdoor containers. Just provide good drainage and plenty of sun for best results.

    🌵 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.
