Sempervivum 'Ruby Heart' - Ruby Heart Hens and Chicks

Ruby Heart Hens and Chicks is a mat-forming evergreen succulent that grows in rosettes of sharply pointed grey-green to blue-green foliage with a flush of rosy red at the base that intensifies as the weather cools.  The mother Rosset(hen) spreads out with horizontal stems to seed offsets (chicks).  Infrequently in summer a short stalk rises from the hen sporting clusters of pinkish-purple flowers.  The hen dies after flowering, giving space for the chicks to grow.  Best color with full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils.  Drought and heat tolerant once established.
