Product Details

Black Hens and Chicks Sempervivum

Sempervivum 'Black'

Black Hens & Chicks forms tight rosettes that sit flat against the soil, each one building out from the center in a layered pattern. The dark coloration gives the plant a strong, graphic look, especially when grouped together. New offsets develop around the main rosette, gradually filling in space with a repeating structure. Reaching about 3 to 6 inches tall and spreading 12 to 18 inches wide at maturity, it forms a low, clustered presence that works well in rock beds, containers, and groundcover plantings.

  • Succulent perennial
  • Near-black rosette foliage
  • Low, spreading growth habit
  • Slow to moderate growth rate
  • Excellent for rock beds, containers, and groundcover plantings

Black Hens & Chicks thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 8, it provides strong texture and a low, structured form in Texas landscapes.
