Hens & Chicks are an evergreen succulent. They make an excellent ground cover, or can very easily be grown in pots. Once established, I think they truly are indestructible! I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have found little transplants of mine laying roots (we have very naughty squirrels & chipmunks around here that love fresh soil) up baking in the sun for who know how long (days - weeks I’m sure) and they still looked perfect. I flipped them back over and they have been no worse for the wear. The flower stalks of the Hens & Chicks are pretty impressive too. They tower over the plants and have lots of stunning blooms!
