Hens and Chicks

Description:

There are around 50 species and over 3000 named cultivars with a wide range of rosette sizes, forms and colors. Sempervivums have star-shaped flowers with 8 - 16 petals (right), typically in pink or red although a few species have pale-yellow flowers. A clump of Sempervivum rosettes adds an exotic touch to any sunny garden.

Habitat:

Sempervivums are hardy alpine succulents from the family Crassulaceae. Their natural habitats are typically 3000 - 8000 ft above sea level in mountainous regions of central and southern Europe and Mediterranean islands.
