Do hens and chickens plants survive winter?

The Hens and Chickens plant, also known as Sempervivum tectorum, is a hardy succulent that is well-adapted to cold climates.

It is native to mountainous regions of Europe and can tolerate temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C).

Hens and Chickens plants have fleshy leaves that store water, which helps them survive in dry conditions. They also have a waxy coating that helps protect them from the cold.

In the winter, Hens and Chickens plants may go dormant and their leaves may turn a reddish color. This is normal and the plant will resume growth in the spring.

To help Hens and Chickens plants survive the winter, it is important to plant them in well-drained soil and to provide them with some protection from the wind.

You can also cover them with a layer of mulch to help insulate them from the cold.

With proper care, Hens and Chickens plants can thrive in cold climates and provide year-round interest in your garden.
