Sempervivum 'Black', commonly known as Hens & Chicks, is a striking succulent that adds bold contrast to gardens with its dark, almost black rosettes of fleshy leaves. This variety forms tight clusters, with the "hens" being the larger central rosette and the "chicks" being smaller offsets that spread outward, creating an attractive and low-maintenance ground cover. The dark foliage is complemented by star-like flowers that bloom in the summer, typically in shades of pink or red, adding a touch of color to the plant’s otherwise dramatic look. Black thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it perfect for rock gardens, containers, or as a hardy ground cover. With its drought tolerance, ease of care, and unique appearance, Sempervivum 'Black' is an excellent choice for adding texture and interest to a variety of garden styles.
