    Will these gorgeous plants survive the frosts and snows of winter? If not, I'm sure you can propogate pieces in a sheltered place.

    Zoey, I had hens and chicks in N.B. and thought they were the neatest things...I also had heard of a unique way of displaying some on a deck. You take a large farmhouse bowl (ceramic) and plant some in that and then add a small "faux" chick in amongst them. I thought it was a unique way of displaying "Hens and chicks". LOL

    that is a cute idea, taracotta. This year I used them to make living wreaths on my deck.

    I love them, too. They survive our winters with no problems, and it gets COLD up here!

    Hens & Chicks are wonderful I have them everywhere I need to fill in bald spots. They are tough and survive our winters here, and actually one time when I moved I dug a few from the garden and left them in a pot for about two months without dirt or water, they survived just fine.

    Yes, hens and chicks are about the easiest plants you will ever grow. When I remove my planters, I just pull out the clump and literally throw it on the ground next to the house. I leave it on the ground all winter and when spring comes, I pick it up and put it back in the container. They NEVER require any extra water.
