Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Chick Charms® 'Gold Nugget' features large, show-stopping rosettes with radiant colors that shift dramatically throughout the year. In the cooler months of fall and winter, Gold Nugget's succulent leaves will go from greenish-yellow with pink tinges to bold scarlet red and bright gold. In summer, the leaves are a more inconspicuous green and subtle yellow color. Hens & Chicks grow best in well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet in winter. They are very drought tolerant, requiring little water once established. Great in containers and rock gardens. Perennial plant of the year winner.

Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget' is the most stunning hen and chicks. It forms dramatic rosettes that are brilliant gold with red picotee edges from January to May turning to a bright Granny Smith apple green in summer then intense red in fall and then back to gold. The dangerously collectible Chick Charms series offers the boldest coloured and best-growing hen and chicks available. Sempervivum are super hardy requiring only full sun and excellent, sharp drainage, especially in coastal BC. Grow them as an edger for pathways or borders or in pots.

One of the easiest and most rewarding perennials for dry conditions it is great for tucking into a rock garden or adding to dry containers in sun. Drought tolerant once rooted in it prefers a bit of afternoon shade.
