Hens and Chicks
Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum spp.)
Hens and Chicks is a hardy succulent with rosette-shaped leaves. The “hen” is the central rosette, and the “chicks” are smaller offsets around it. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, needing minimal water once established. The plant produces small flowers in summer, and while the hen dies after flowering, the chicks continue to grow. It’s perfect for containers or rock gardens.
