The striking color of the Coral Red Hens & Chicks makes this sempervivum stand out. Growing to around 5 inches tall, its fleshy and pointed leaves are a rich coral red. Tough and easy to grow, the Coral Red Hens & Chicks makes the perfect gift for someone special or to treat yourself!
The dense and compact Coral Red Hens & Chicks looks stunning when grown in a container, rock garden, or edge of a border. A low-maintenance succulent, it needs little ongoing care and is deer tolerant. Hardy in zones 4 to 8, this sempervivum is native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe.
Coral Red Hens & Chicks Care
For the richest color, grow Coral Red Hens & Chicks in fun sun. This succulent prefers a free-draining sandy or rocky substrate. Water hens and chicks when the soil dries out, and avoid wet soils as this can lead to the roots rotting. Fertilizing is not strictly required. However, you can apply a balanced organic feed for succulents in the spring to help replace any lost nutrients.
Minimal pruning, if any, is required for the Coral Red Hens & Chicks. As chicks are produced, you can tease them away and pot them up to grow new plants. Spent hens can be removed after blooming.
Coral Red Hens & Chicks Spacing
The Coral Red Hens & Chicks can grow to 4 to 5 inches tall and 6 to 8 inches wide. For ground cover, plant at a spacing of around 6 to 8 inches or further apart for a more defined appearance.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
