Sempervivum purpureum (Hen and Chicks)

Sempervivum purpureum, also known as Hen and Chicks, is a succulent plant with rosettes of fleshy, purple-tinged leaves. This plant gets its common name from the way it produces offsets, or 'chicks', around the central 'hen' rosette. The leaves have a pointed shape and are covered in small, hair-like structures that give them a fuzzy texture. Hen and Chicks are commonly grown in rock gardens or as ground cover due to their low maintenance and drought tolerance.
