Chick Charms® Gold Crown™ (PPAF): The crowning jewel of your cold hardy garden bed. Gold Crown is a Sempervivum fit for a king. It is a cherry red and can take on yellow tones in summer with lots of sun; it's sure to draw the eye. Its impressive size certainly helps as well!
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
