Notes
'Ruby' rubikon hens & chicks (Sempervivum 'Ruby') is a succulent for rock gardens, containers, borders, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It is evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care. Bees and butterflies visit it.
