I love your hens and chicks, I currently only have 2 types, had more but they didn't survive but that happens when you buy on clearance. One is a mini the hen is probably 1" and the babies are the size of pony beads, didn't know they would be tiny but they are cool.

Thanks Sue,  Yours will look great as long as you ignore them.  Not too much water, lots of sun, and poor soil.  What zone are you?  These grew in Zone 2 and now in Zone 9.

I'm hoping the Hens will have chicks so I will have lots for a vertical wall.  In Canada I started out with one of each style or color that I could find and now there are hundreds so I brought some with me.  I can't find these kinds in SoCal! Once the big old one blooms it dies and the chicks fill in the space.  I had them planted in volcanic rocks and the did very good.  What zone are you?
