The difference between a ‘Successful Gardener’ and a ‘Gardener’ is a thin line of knowledge and experience.

Hens and chicks plants make great low-maintenance options for dry, sunny gardens. And there are so many interesting cultivars available in a range of hues, from chocolate brown to green to bright orange and yellow.

They are members of the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae).
