Black Hen & Chicks (Sempervivum 'Black') is a striking succulent known for its dramatic dark, almost black, rosettes. The "hen" forms a central, compact cluster, while the "chicks" spread out, creating a captivating groundcover. Its fleshy, pointed leaves showcase deep purples to near-black hues that change with the seasons, adding bold contrast to rock gardens, containers, or sunny borders. This hardy, low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfect for xeriscaping and drought-prone areas. Black Hen & Chicks is also an excellent choice for containers, where its unique texture and color create year-round interest. Resistant to deer and easy to care for, it’s a stunning choice for adding a touch of the unusual to your garden design. Show more
