Sempervivum 'Red Beauty' (Hens and Chicks) is a mat-forming attractive, evergreen rosettes of fleshy, gray-green leaves adorned with blood-red tips. The colour may vary from season to season. The mother rosette (Hen) spreads in all directions by horizontal stems to form offsets (chicks). Each offset will develop roots of its own and become independent of the parent plant as the connecting stolon withers. In summer, a thick flowering stalk arises from the center of the hen rosette and bears showy starry, pink flowers. Sempervivums are monocarpic: they die after flowering. However, the offsets they produce usually make up for the losses and fill the gaps left by the dead rosettes.
