Sempervivum heuffelii ‘Fandango’

  • Sempervivum 'Fandango' or Sempervivum heuffelii ‘Fandango’ is a true classic among hens and chicks and a favorite for outdoor gardens. Its long, lime green leaves are edged with red margins that deepen and spread during the colder months, creating bold seasonal contrast. Along the leaf edges, fine silvery cilia catch the light and add a soft, textured detail that sets this variety apart.

    Sempervivum heuffelii come from mountainous regions of Eastern Europe and are known for their toughness and reliability. ‘Fandango’, bred by Nixon, is especially valued for its strong structure, consistent color, and ability to look good through every season of the year.

    Rather than spreading by runners, S. heuffelii produces offsets by dividing. Over time, the mother plant splits into multiple rosettes, forming a tidy, well-balanced cluster. These rosettes can be left to grow together or carefully separated and transplanted. After several years, a mature rosette may bloom with yellow flowers and then fade, but its offsets will continue to thrive.


  • Full sun to partial shade.

    Gritty, well-draining soil. Thrives in rocky or sandy mixes with low organic matter.

    Water only when the soil is completely dry. Extremely drought-tolerant; prone to rot if kept damp.

    Feed lightly once or twice during the growing season with a diluted, low-nitrogen fertilizer. Overfeeding can cause leggy growth and weaken the plant.

    Non-toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.
