SEMPERVIVUM x ‘Black’ (Hen & Chicks)

Description

This old European plant is perfect for introducing children to gardening. Besides being indestructible, the curious, fleshy leaves are short, pointed, and are arranged like a nest. Foliage color varies from solid green to solid purple and all shades and combinations in between; some will change color as the season progresses. New, smaller shoots appear alongside the rosette, forming a tight cluster of “hen and chicks.”
