The Royal Ruby Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum) is the ultimate “tough-as-nails” succulent for gardeners who want high-impact color with almost zero effort. Growing in tight, geometric rosettes that reach about 3 to 4 inches tall and spread to fill crevices, this plant showcases stunning, deep wine-red foliage that intensifies in the cooler months. To keep that “Royal Ruby” luster, plant them in full sun and exceptionally well-drained soilthey are practically invincible in rock gardens or alpine troughs. One of their best features for our mountain neighbors is that they are completely deer and rabbit resistant, as the thick, rubbery leaves aren’t on the local menu. These “living stones” are incredibly drought-tolerant and cold-hardy, making them a reliable, colorful groundcover that thrives where other plants might struggle.

Sempervivum Royal Ruby Hens and Chicks is a hardy, evergreen succulent that forms mats of colorful rosettes. It is prized for its ability to thrive in poor soil and rocky environments.
