Getting to know your Hens and Chicks Succulent

Hens and Chicks grow in tight, low rosettes of fleshy leaves. The mother plant (hen) produces multiple smaller rosettes (chicks) around her base, which can be left in place for a clustered look or separated and replanted to expand your garden.

The leaves vary in color from green to burgundy, purple, silvery-blue, and sometimes even variegated depending on variety and season. Some cultivars are covered in fine web-like hairs, giving them a fuzzy appearance.

In mid to late summer, mature hens may send up a tall, star-shaped flower stalk, often pink or red. After flowering, the hen typically dies, but the surrounding chicks will quickly fill the space.
