The misty green rosettes etched with deep red near the base of each succulent leaf forms a glowing crimson centre. Surrounded by an ever-expanding brood, dozens of chicks encircle the hen. May produce pink flowers in mid-summer on short stalks above the foliage.
Once, every grandchild received a start of this plant from their grandmother. Rosettes of leaves (the hens) send out many offsets (the chicks) which can be pulled off and transplanted.
