Why We Love It:
Hens and Chicks form beautiful clusters of colorful rosettes that slowly multiply into living carpets of texture and color. Each “hen” produces offsets, or “chicks,” creating an ever-expanding colony that looks right at home tucked between stones or spilling through gravel gardens. Tough, drought tolerant, and incredibly cold hardy, Sempervivum thrives where many other plants struggle and provides year-round interest with almost no maintenance.

Additional Info:
Extremely hardy and well suited for alpine and xeric landscapes. Performs best in lean soils with excellent drainage and does not tolerate overly wet conditions, especially in winter. Perfect for crevice gardens, troughs, containers, and sunny rock gardens where evergreen texture is desired year-round.
