Burgundy colored leaves with dark-green tips intensifies in cooler weather. The large rosettes are formed from sharply pointed leaves. In summer the older rosettes send out stems topped with clusters of purple flowers. The plants develop new offsets at the base of the mother plant. Hens and chicks are one of the easiest perennials to grow as they are tolerant of heat and drought. Great for rock gardens, troughs, and walls. Evergreen.
