Sempervivum 'Ruby Heart' Hens and Chicks

Gardeners, are you looking for a truly unique addition to your houseleek plant collection?  Look no further than Sempervivum 'Ruby heart'! Along with Sempervivum tectorum, Sempervivum calcareum, Sempervivum rojo, Sempervivum arachnoideum, and houseleek plants, it is also known as hens and chicks. As the name suggests, Sempervivum ‘Ruby Heart’ is a plant whose ruby-colored (flushed rosy red) leaves are extremely pleasing to the eye.  The Ruby Heart variety forms compact rosettes of fleshy leaves that are tightly clustered together, resembling a heart shape, giving it another common name heart succulent. These rosettes are made up of thick, sharply pointed leaves with serrated edges, giving them an interesting texture.  The deep silvery blue-green leaves of these hen and chick plants age with time, and as they do, their tips and edges develop lovely red tones in winter temperatures. This combination of green and red creates a striking contrast that makes the Ruby Heart variety stand out
