Sempervivum, commonly known as Hens & Chicks, is a charming, low-growing succulent known for its rosette-forming “hen” surrounded by smaller offshoots or “chicks.” With fleshy leaves in shades of green, red, or purple—often with a soft, frosted appearance—this plant offers year-round interest and texture. Its symmetrical shape and ability to multiply make it a favourite for rock gardens, succulent bowls, and sunny windowsills.

Tough and resilient, Hens & Chicks thrive on minimal care. They prefer bright light and dry conditions, making them an excellent choice for forgetful waterers. As a cold-hardy succulent, they can also be grown outdoors in containers or garden beds in temperate climates.
