The Sempervivum 'Giant Steel Appeal' PPAF has thick succulent foliage that grows in a broad rosette, with leaves coming to a pronounced point. The blue-gray leaves surround a magenta center, providing a bold pop of color.

Add this beauty to a rock garden, border, or near the front of a mixed bed. The Chick Charms® Giant Steel Appeal Hens and Chicks is an excellent option for a container and can be featured as a centerpiece on a patio table. This low-maintenance plant is not demanding and typically does best with a degree of neglect. Grow this extra-large Sempervivum in zones 3 through 8.

Chick Charms® Giant Steel Appeal Hens and Chicks Care

Select a spot in full sun to part shade. Sempervivums are hardy plants that thrive in low-quality soil that is dry and well drained. Less is more when it comes to watering this drought-tolerant plant. Rainfall is often enough to keep this Sempervivum hydrated, but supplemental water may be required if the roots are completely dry.

The hen plant will send out offshoots or chicks that will eventually replace the hen. Leave the hen until the chicks are established, and remove it after the plant declines.

Chick Charms® Giant Steel Appeal Hens and Chicks Spacing

At 3 inches tall and 10 inches wide, the Chick Charms® Giant Steel Appeal Hens and Chicks is big enough to make a significant visual impact on a landscape. Space plants 10 inches apart or feature one in a 12-inch container.
