| Aeoniums are closely related to Sempervivums, otherwise known as hens-and-chicks (because they proliferate like barnyard chickens) or houseleeks (since the edible varieties were grown on the roofs of Roman houses). Sempervivums, also known as "hen and chicks" or houseleeks, are a common garden succulent whose leaves are quite tasty raw or lightly cooked. |
