Description
Hens and Chicks, scientifically known as Sempervivum, are hardy succulent plants that belong to the Crassulaceae family. They are characterized by their rosette shape and come in a variety of colors, including green, red, and purple. The name “Hens and Chicks” originates from the way these plants propagate; the “hen” refers to the larger parent plant, while the “chicks” are the smaller offsets or pups that grow around it. These plants are drought-tolerant and thrive in well-draining soil, making them an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or containers. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade, and their unique appearance and low maintenance requirements make them popular among gardeners.
