Historic garden plant with succulent foliage. Features tight, round rosettes with lime green leaves. The pointed leaf tips flush a bold red. This variety is a roller, in that the young chicks have a tendency to roll off the hen plant and root. Hens & Chicks grow best in well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet in winter.
