Sempervivum

Sempervivum, commonly known as houseleek or hens and chicks, is a genus of hardy, drought-tolerant succulent plants. They form rosettes of fleshy leaves that store water, making them well-suited to limited watering and sunny locations. These plants are known for their rapid propagation through small offsets, or "chicks," that surround the main rosette, or "hen." Sempervivums are low-maintenance, evergreen, and often used in rock gardens or containers. Their resilience and attractive appearance make them popular among gardeners for creating textured, colorful displays with minimal care.
