Sempervivum Hippie Chicks
Best low-maintenance succulent for busy gardeners seeking colorful, drought-tolerant ground cover.
These hardy succulents turn neglected patches into a vibrant, low-effort tapestry of color. While they demand almost nothing in terms of care, you sacrifice the ability to control their aggressive spread, making them better suited for contained rock gardens than tightly manicured borders.
