Chick Charms® GIANTS Copper Canyon PPAF Hardy Succulent

Red splashed, Chick Charms® GIANTS Copper Canyon PPAF Hardy Succulent (Sempervivum x 'Copper Canyon') is a gorgeous spiked and symmetrical succulent with incredible two-tone pointed, fleshy leaves! The rounded 'hens' of these Hens-and-Chicks have blood-red tips and centers that fade to a coppery red on older leaves.

Copper Canyon forms rounded rosettes that are slow-growing and orderly rosettes that grow to a maximum of 3 inches in height but can reach 6 - 9 inches wide! Everyone will want a closer look at the red-stained pointed leaves that form concentric circles from its center.

These are Hardy Succulents are surprisingly cold-resistant outdoors! Doing just fine throughout USDA growing zones 3 through 9, they are excellent container plants outdoors, and some even like to sneak one indoors in a sunny window as a xeric houseplant. When in bloom, pinkish flowers form upon slender stems in the summer and rise a couple of inches above the rosette for pollinators and your enjoyment!

Planting and Application:

Sempervivum are colorful additions to the Rock garden and crevice gardens in rock and retaining walls! They form dense colonies like their Hens-and-Chicks cousins! Fantastic xeric little plants and groundcovers that look best grouped and massed for vivid color at the front of the garden.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hardy Succulent plants are xeric, but they still need water to thrive. Basking in full sun without shrinking, these thrive in very little water once established. Winter hardy, these Alpine natives grow in any rocky foothold possible! During the summer heat, they will need to be watered more frequently. Allow plants to dry out slightly between waterings, but don't overwater. Plant in full sun outside and bright indirect sun indoors. Grown Hens and Chicks in low to moderate fertility, even thriving in poor fertility, as long as it is well-drained soil.

Overwintering & Maintaining Hardy Succulents

Sempervivum produces its own babies after only 1 season, gradually replacing themselves over time every few years. After 3 years and having produced many baby plants, a Sempervivum grows a tall center stalk that blooms before the plant dies. Every few years divide your clumps and remove the old, less vigorous rosettes that have flowered that summer in late autumn to keep the plant rejuvenated and the clumps clean.

Although winter hardy, the key to success is sharply drained soil and protection from a site that will receive too much water. Sometimes your container-grown Sempervivum will appreciate moving the pots against the east side of the house during winter which will help reduce the water in late fall and winter.

• Full Sun & Bright Indirect Indoors
• Low Water Needs
• Fast Draining Soil
• Clean Mounds As Needed
