Introducing the captivating Sempervivum tectorum 'Little Ruby', a succulent gem that brings a dazzling splash of rich color and captivating texture to any garden or container! This extraordinary cultivar of the classic Hen and Chicks is celebrated for its incredibly vibrant, deep ruby-red tips that contrast beautifully with its emerald-green base, intensifying under stress from sun or cool temperatures.

Why 'Little Ruby' Will Be Your New Favorite Plant:

• Dazzling Color Transformation: Watch in awe as 'Little Ruby' lives up to its name! Its exquisite rosettes display a stunning transition from a verdant green heart to a vivid, almost glowing ruby-red at the tips, becoming even more intense with good light and cooler weather.

• Charming Rosette Form: Each plant forms a perfectly symmetrical, compact rosette, creating an intricate, architectural display that adds sophisticated beauty to rockeries, borders, or miniature gardens.

• Prolific "Chicks" for Easy Spreading: True to its Sempervivum heritage, 'Little Ruby' is a generous producer of offsets, or "chicks," which form around the mother "hen." These can be easily separated to expand your collection, share with friends, or fill more spaces with their charming presence.

• Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Ideal for busy gardeners or those new to succulents! 'Little Ruby' is extremely drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal watering and flourishing with little fuss.

• Versatile Design Powerhouse: Perfect for rock gardens, alpine troughs, green roofs, xeriscaping, or as charming fillers in mixed succulent arrangements. Its compact size also makes it superb for small pots and fairy gardens.

• Deer and Rabbit Resistant: Enjoy your beautiful plants without worry – 'Little Ruby' is generally unappealing to common garden pests.
