Succulents, Yucca, and Cacti
Hopewell Hens & Chicks
Useful in rock gardens, container gardens of all types, rooftop gardens and rock walls. Hundreds of varieties exist. All types form a low cushion or carpet of fleshy leaves, tiny new plants appearing in a circle around the mother in the middle. This selection has large-sized rosettes with pointy leaves of bright jade green. Short spikes of pastel flowers appear in summer. Easily increased by just removing the small baby rosettes and replanting in a new location at almost any time. After flowering, the mother rosette dies to leave room for the chicks: remove this by tugging gently at the base of the bloom stem. Zone: 3-8 Sun: full to part sun Water: Low Bloom color: Light pink Bloom time: Summer
