Hens and Chicks Hens and chicks plants are mat-forming succulents that produce clusters of rosettes. The parent rosettes are the “hens,” and the smaller rosettes that spring from them are the “chicks” or “chickens.” This low-growing perennial will quickly spread to 2 feet or more in width through propagation or self-propagation. Although grown for its foliage, hens and chicks do sometimes flower on a tall flower stalk. The foliage of hens and chicks plants is most typically red, green, blue, gold, copper, or some mixture.Optimal Growing Conditions Sun Exposure: Soil Type: Soil pH: Soil Moisture: Care Level: Appearance and Characteristics Height: Spread: Blooming Time: Foliage Color: |
Sedum ‘Angelina’ A terrific low evergreen groundcover for sunny areas with poor dry soil. This forms a trailing mat of succulent golden-yellow leaves.

Does well in large rock gardens where the plants can be given room to spread. Best with occasional to no foot traffic.
