Chicken & Hens Plants
(a.k.a. Hens & Chicks
or Sempervivum)
This plant has always reminded me of a cactus but it is actually a ground hugging "houseleek" (source Wikipedia).
This fun plant is literally the easiest to grow and watching it spread is so enjoyable! It grows well in bad soil and around rocky areas.
(all pictures were taken by me - Angie Ouellette-Tower and all plants were grown in my garden) (please see copyright at the bottom of this post).

- simply (and gently) pull one flower out of a cluster (see picture below on the left)
- pull all the way out (see the long root in the picture below on the right)
- then plant (that's all! - make sure that the root goes deep enough in the ground)
