The site is:

Here are some random hens and chicks growing facts and tips:

• they prefer full to part sun (I grow mine in full sun)

• they grow best in zones 4-8 (I’m on the border of 5-6). Find what zone you live in here.

• provide good drainage

• don’t over-water– these are drought resist, but make sure you give them enough water during the summer heat

• they live for 2-3 years– but since they reproduce so many chicks you’ll never have to buy more

• a hen will grow a tall center stalk that blooms before the plant dies

• I keep mine outside during the winter months and they do fine. I do pull them closer to the house though.
