Hens and Chicks, botanically known as Sempervivum tectorum, is one of the most beloved and enduring succulents in the world — a plant that has graced rooftops, rock walls, and garden borders for thousands of years across Europe and Asia. The 'Hen' is the central mother rosette, and the 'Chicks' are the abundant offsets she continuously produces, spreading outward to form a dense, beautiful colony of rosettes in varying shades of green, burgundy, and purple. This frost-hardy clustering rosette succulent is one of the very few succulents that genuinely thrives outdoors through Indian winters, making it a highly valuable plant for cool-climate gardens and high-altitude regions. If you're looking to buy Hens and Chicks or Sempervivum tectorum online in India, this classic hardy outdoor clustering rosette is a timeless, near-indestructible succulent perfect for rock gardens, terrace pots, and outdoor borders.
