Black Prince Hens and Chicks is the regal, dark centerpiece of the succulent collection. Its tightly packed, elegant rosettes feature sharply pointed leaves that deepen from a dark jade green at the base to a rich, velvety burgundy-black at the tips, especially under strong light. This striking color contrast creates a dramatic, almost floral form. While it produces beautiful orange-red flowers on arching stalks, its primary allure is its year-round, architectural foliage. A slow but reliable producer of offsets, it forms a captivating cluster of dark jewels perfect for adding depth and sophistication to pots and gardens.

• Renowned for its dark, striking rosettes with leaves that transition from green centers to deep burgundy-black tips.

• Color intensifies to its darkest, most dramatic shade when grown in bright, direct sunlight.

• Produces attractive, arching flower stalks with vivid orange-red, bell-shaped flowers in cooler months.

• Forms offsets (“chicks”) at the base over time, allowing it to develop into a handsome clump.

• Prefers full sun and excellent drainage; its dark leaves can be more susceptible to scorching in extreme, direct afternoon heat.

• An evergreen succulent with a compact, slow-growing habit, ideal for containers, dish gardens, and as a focal point.
