Sempervivum Chick Charms® Cosmic Candy™ Description
Chick Charms hens and chicks are easy to love, and this is one of our favorites! Each succulent rosette of Cosmic Candy hens and chicks (Sempervivum sp.) displays deep burgundy-red color around a tight green center, and is dusted with fine white hairs that really make the color pop. Those hairs don’t just look cool – they also give this plant superb drought tolerance. As Cosmic Candy hens and chicks grows, it forms a colony of neat little rosettes. The effect is dazzling! Add it to your hens and chicks collection or pair it with other hardy succulents or sun-loving ground covers and perennials for a dash of color.

PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Very well-drained, even dry, soil is imperative for success with hens and chicks. Nothing will do them in faster than soggy conditions, so plant only in soils that are never wet for any lengthy period of time. Little volume of soil is needed; sempervivum will grow in rocky crevices, cracks, walls, between paving stones, and in shallow containers.
Light: Full sun - at least 6 hours/day - is recommended. Very light shade may be okay in hot climates.
Water: Immediately after transplanting, water generously. After that let the soil dry out between watering. Once established, sempervivum is very drought tolerant, requiring little to no supplemental watering.
Spacing: 6" - 12" to start - plants will soon fill in and knit together.
Fertilizing: None needed.
Winterizing: No special care needed.
Maintenance & pruning: Once a hen plant produces a chick, that chick will begin creating its own chicks the following year. Large hen plants eventually grow a tall flower stalk and die after blooming. However, this is no cause for concern as by the time it does this, it will have left behind a large colony of chicks to take its place. Cutting off the center stalk will not prevent the plant from dying. Chicks can be left in place or plucked out and relocated to expand your display.Reviews
Write a reviewWhen they are shipped well, amazing little plants
Michelle Epps | Aug 22, 2020I ordered 7 of these at the beginning of summer. Cute little plants. However, my issue is more with the shipping - 4 were packaged extremely well and arrived with the expected bumps and bruises. They have flourished! 3 were shipped carelessly and arrived in pieces. They died even after me trying to save them. I was able to get zero response or resolution. So, bottom line, the plans are adorable and so cute (I wish I could add a pic) but roll the dice on how they are shipped because you will get zero assistance.Owner Response: Hello Michelle, - I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, I do not see any notes of correspondence in any of the three orders you placed this year. Had we heard from you within the first 30 days, we would have gladly issued you a refund for the plants that died. I will set up a refund for the 3 plants now---- Management
