Hens and chicks 'Noir'

Sempervivum 'Noir' features extraordinary deep purple to almost black rosettes that create a dramatic focal point throughout the year. Its compact habit makes it ideal for modern rock gardens, dry stone walls, and containers. Pink flowers appear on sturdy stems in summer, while the striking foliage continues to provide bold contrasts in every season.

Watering and Care

Sempervivum 'Noir' is adapted to dry conditions and needs very little supplemental watering. Water sparingly after planting and ensure that excess moisture drains away quickly. Once established, it is highly resilient.

Maintenance

This variety requires minimal maintenance. Remove old rosettes and spent flower stalks when necessary. New offsets form naturally and gradually expand the planting.

Location

Grow in full sun and sharply drained soil. Strong sunlight enhances the dramatic dark tones of the foliage and keeps growth compact.

Tip

The near-black rosettes create exceptional contrast when paired with lighter foliage plants or pale stone features.

Sempervivum 'Noir' stands out with dark green to reddish rosettes and small blooms, enhancing flower beds, rock gardens, and containers in summer. Especially decorative when paired with light green plants or as ground cover.

The blooms attract insects, adding visual vitality.
