Sempervivum 'Killer'
Sempervivum is made up of a single, sizable rosette called the "hen," which produces several smaller rosettes called "chicks" all around it. The "hen" may disappear as the plants get older and be replaced by the "chicks". Plants can easily separated at any time by removing some of the "chicks" and transplanting them in different locations. When placed in the cracks and crevices of stone walls or sidewalks, this plant performs very well. Additionally, it looks fantastic in containers.
