Let me start by saying I am crazy about hens n chicks (mostly due to Pinterest). I have always grown sempervivem in my garden but have been being creative lately. I recently used some small recycled 3inch pots to stick in latice to make a sort of living wall, and made this globe using two coco-lined baskets held together with zip ties. I had my husband weld it to a steel beam, and it is suspended over broadmoor juniper. My question is this: I got a little carried away and didn't think about the overwintering of the sempervivem! I don't know if they will make it, and thought about maybe covering with a sheer sheet, and stuffing with straw or leaves? Any suggestions?
Anyone else crazy over hens n chicks?
