Hens and Chicks, Chick Charms Giant, Maroon Mountain

Maroon Mountain Giant Hen and Chicks brings deep, smoldering drama to the sunny rock garden or container with oversized rosettes of rich red-maroon foliage that hold their dark, brooding color through the growing season and deepen into burgundy as temperatures fall. As part of the Chick Charms Giant series, the rosettes are noticeably larger than standard sempervivums, giving the planting a bold, architectural quality that reads well even from a distance. Red flowers emerge in summer above the foliage before the parent rosette matures offsets that steadily fill in as a dense, colorful groundcover over time. The foliage persists through winter in handsome evergreen form, extending the ornamental season through the coldest months when most of the garden has gone quiet. Virtually no care is required—drought, poor soils, and neglect are no obstacle, and deer and rabbit resistant status makes it genuinely trouble-free. A standout selection for anyone who wants powerful, year-round color at the garden’s edge.
