Hens & Chicks Hot Mix
Sempervivum tectorum 'Hot Mix'

Who isn't cheered by this classic old-fashioned favorite? Succulent, pointy green rosettes, both large and small varieties, combine in shades of green and tan with red tips at about 3-4". Pink flowers appear in June. Easy to grow in a multitude of conditions, it is easy to account for the popularity of this sedum look-alike. New "chicks" form around the base of the plant, or "hen". Eventually the "hens" die out leaving the "chicks" to grow for the next year, and so forth. Perfect for the rock garden, trough or container, between sunny stepping-stones or clustered at the front of the border in lots of sun, don't forget these favorites of your grandmother.
