    Zn 3. Deep orange to wine red rosettes.

    Sempervivum Cherry Berry is a beacon of bright cherry red colours in spring and summer turning to green with red highlights in fall and winter. 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.

    This new selection of beloved hen and chicks brings electric color to well-drained spots, rock gardens, on dry slopes where nothing will grow, or tucked into clay pots to admire up close. Collect them all!
