Zn 4. Small, tight pale green rosette.

Key Lime Kiss forms clusters of small, tightly packed rosettes in a glowing light green colour. Collectors of succulents tend to be less drawn to green coloured plants but people who design with succulents have realized that an entire composition could hinge on adding in some green. 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.
