Jovibarba heuffelii, common name hen-and-chickens, is a plant species native to the Balkans and to the Carpathians in Europe but reportedly naturalized in Wisconsin and probably in other parts of North America.
[2] Jovibarba heuffelii is a perennial herb forming basal rosettes of succulent leaves that are ciliate along the margins.
Flowering stalks are erect, succulent, up to 20 cm (8 inches) tall, bearing a cyme of up to 40 white to yellowish flowers.
Each flower is up to 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter, with 6-7 fringed petals.
Each plant is semelparous, meaning that it flowers only once, dying after its fruits mature.
