Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum) Trailing, Not Blooming

Your hens and chicks are 18 inches long, trailing over a wheelbarrow, not blooming. Two clarifications:

  • They trail naturally—great for containers/walls.
  • Bloom at maturity (3–4 years), then the "hen" dies. Offsets ("chicks") continue.
  • No size trigger for blooming—age matters.

Care

  • Full sun to part shade.
  • Gritty, well-drained soil.
  • Water only when dry.
  • Feed lightly in spring.

Move outdoors in warm weather—they'll thrive and bloom when ready.
