Sempervivum 'Purple Beauty' is an herbaceous evergreen perennial, commonly called hens & chicks or houseleek. A mat-forming succulent, 'Purple Beauty' has medium-sized, semi-open rosettes with green centers and deep purple tips. Under ideal conditions, the plant may bloom in midsummer. It grows as one large rosette (hen) and spreads in all directions by sprouting smaller rosettes (chicks) that cluster around it. A monocarpic plant, the hen naturally dies after flowering, allowing the chicks to take over and become hens themselves. Plants can be divided easily at any time by pulling up some of the chicks and replanting them elsewhere.

Hens & chicks are excellent structural plants for the garden, and their architectural form and extreme versatility creates unusual planting opportunities. These succulents are particularly effective planted in the cracks and crevices of dry stone walls or of rock gardens and are well-suited to xeriscapes and alpine gardens. They create a nice ground cover when massed in small spaces, and they are also attractive container plants, indoors or out.

Adaptable, cold hardy, no maintenance plants, hens & chicks grow almost anywhere. They grow well in hot, sunny locations but may benefit from some light shade, especially in the afternoon in hot summer climates. They adapt to a variety of soils but prefer average, dry to medium moist, very well-draining gritty soils, having a slightly acidic pH (5.8-6.5). Hens & chicks are drought tolerant, virtually pest and disease free, and deer and rabbits resistant. About the only thing that can destroy these plants is wet feet, and 'Purple Beauty' requires especially sharp drainage.

Disappointed.
Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large
This sweater is so comfortable and very soft. It fits well in a flattering, oversized way. But after one wash it is pilled everywhere which makes it look old and shabby. It’s at a price point where I feel compelled to return it.

Super cute, highly recommend
Color: Beige, Size: Small
Absolutely love this sweater, I purchased a size small and it fit perfectly. It’s very soft and can be worn with a button up shirt underneath or by itself. It was true to color and was white and black. Just like the picture showed. It’s not super warm by itself, but with a shirt underneath much warmer.

Light, soft sweater
Color: Beige, Size: Small, Color: Beige, Size: Small
I liked this sweater so much, I bought it in other colors. This review is for the brown sweater, which is a warm brown color. I wear colors in the cool color palette, including cool-toned or ashy browns (see photos for comparison), but decided to keep this sweater to wear in the Fall. Color reminds me of milk chocolate. These are my go-to sweaters! Easy to pop on and wear with jeans or slacks for a put-together look. I normally wear a US Medium, but I returned for a Small. You may want to size down. Sweater is soft and comfortable, quality is great, and the weight is light and perfect for Spring or Fall. They have washed well, and I have dried in the drier for about 10 minutes before removing to finish drying on a rack.

Love it so much!
Color: Beige, Size: Small
This is super cute! Beware the ‘beige’ color is very much a white sweater with black stripes so one star gets taken away for that. Go figure. But otherwise super cute. Cropped so beware of that but good quality!
