Hens and Chicks are evergreen succulent. They make an excellent ground cover, or can very easily be grown in pots. Once established, they truly are indestructible!
The flower stalks of the Hens and Chicks are pretty impressive too. They tower over the plants and have lots of stunning blooms!

My zoysia grass suffered over the winter and I went on a limb to buy a few small bags of seed to repair some bald spots in my lawn. Much to my surprise the seed is coming out after a week and I am expecting wonderful results. Happy camper.
