Sempervivum Chick Charms ‘Gold Nugget’
Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget' from the Chick Charms series is a stupendous gold and red cultivar.
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.
