Style: Short Sleeve
Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet houseleek
Sempervivum L.
Houseleeks build colonies from compact rosettes and their smaller offsets. The young rosettes often arise along spreading stolons, giving rise to the familiar name hens and chicks. Rosettes can persist for years before flowering. NC State Extension: Sempervivum
Seasonality across the genus
North Carolina cultivation account
Summer flowering is reported for cultivated houseleeks. The flowering rosette dies afterward, while its offsets can continue growing and renewing the colony. NC State Extension: Sempervivum
Native range
Kew records the genus as native from Europe eastward to Iran and also in Morocco. It is also cultivated beyond this range. Cultivated forms suit sunny, well-drained rocky settings; many tolerate cold. Kew POWO: SempervivumNC State Extension: Sempervivum
