Among the easiest plants to grow. Especially lovely with its tight rosettes of cobwebbed foliage. The large "mother" (Hen) rosette spreads in all directions by stems to form "offspring" (Chicks). In summer a thick flowering stalk rises out of the center of the hen rosette and blooms showy pink flowers. Hen-and-chicks tolerate heat, drought and neglect with style. Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
