$11.99
Unit price perTrio Berries Hens & Chicks brings the classic charm of sempervivum in a tidy, spreading form with rich red summer blooms that arrive in cheerful clusters above the evergreen rosettes. Perfectly scaled for containers, rock gardens, and border edges, it slowly expands as the mother rosette offsets into a spreading cluster of smaller chicks. Full sun, lean soil, and almost no water once established are all it needs—making it an ideal choice for hot, dry spots where more demanding plants struggle. The thick, succulent leaves carry it through drought and poor conditions with ease, and deer and rabbits reliably leave it alone. Plant it in a mix with other sedums and sempervivums for a tapestry of contrasting textures and colors that changes subtly through the seasons. A genuinely carefree accent that earns its keep wherever it’s planted.

Butterfly Weed, Hello Yellow
$19.99
Unit price perButterfly Weed, Hello Yellow
$19.99
Unit price perHello Yellow Butterfly Weed brightens the sunny summer border with clean, vivid yellow flower clusters that are irresistible to monarchs and other butterflies—making it one of the most rewarding milkweed choices for a pollinator planting. A Great Lakes nativar, it forms a tidy, clumping mound of narrow foliage reaching twelve to eighteen inches tall, fitting neatly into borders, rock gardens, or naturalistic mass plantings. Unlike some milkweeds, it is notably drought tolerant once established, thriving in lean soils and full sun without supplemental watering. Deer and rabbits reliably pass it by, and it handles the difficult root zone beneath black walnut trees with ease. The seedpods that follow the flowers are gracefully ornamental in their own right, eventually splitting to release silky-tailed seeds. It’s a genuinely no-fuss nativar that pays for itself all summer long in monarch sightings alone.
Hen & Chicks, Trio Can Campfir
$11.99
Unit price perHen & Chicks, Trio Can Campfir
$11.99
Unit price perTrio Campfire Hens & Chicks smolders with year-round drama—its tight, architectural rosettes dressed in vivid red foliage that deepens and shifts through the seasons, from bright scarlet in summer to rich burgundy and copper-bronze in fall and winter. An evergreen succulent that thrives in containers, rock gardens, and hot, well-drained spots where little else survives, it is as close to indestructible as a garden plant gets. The mother rosette gradually produces clusters of smaller chicks around its base, slowly filling available space with a living mosaic of warm color. Full sun, lean soil, and minimal water are all it needs—in fact, it prefers to be left on the dry side. Tuck it into troughs, stone walls, or mixed containers where its bold, compact form can be appreciated up close. This is a plant for the gardener who wants reliable drama without the work.
Butterfly Weed, Whorled
From $9.99
Unit price perButterfly Weed, Whorled
From $9.99
Unit price perWhorled Milkweed is a delicate, fine-textured native that’s a quiet powerhouse for the pollinator garden. Its slender stems are dressed in airy whorls of needle-thin leaves, giving it a soft, almost feathery presence among bolder companions. Native across much of the eastern U.S., it serves as an essential host plant for Monarch caterpillars while its summer flower clusters draw butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Happiest in full sun to light shade, it asks for little water and thrives in the lean, well-drained soils other plants snub. Deer tend to leave it alone, and it spreads gently to form colonies—perfect for naturalized borders and prairie-style plantings. Weave it through a meadow garden and watch the winged visitors arrive.
Salvia, Wesuwe
$16.99

Hens and Chicks, Chick Charms Giant, Maroon Mountain
From $8.99
Unit price perHens and Chicks, Chick Charms Giant, Maroon Mountain
From $8.99
Unit price perMaroon 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.
Hens and Chicks, Chick Charms Giant, Gold Mine
From $8.99
Unit price perHens and Chicks, Chick Charms Giant, Gold Mine
From $8.99

The Chick Charms Giant series features unusually large rosettes that have real presence in a rock garden, container, or border edge planting where the bold color and substantial size command attention at ground level. Red flowers rise above the foliage in summer for a contrasting pop of color before the parent rosette matures its offsets and the colony gradually fills in. Fall brings warm golden tones that shift through yellow-gold as temperatures cool, adding to the plant’s year-round appeal. Drought-tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and evergreen, it thrives in the conditions that discourage most other ornamentals and requires no care once established. A golden accent that earns its place in any well-drained, sunny spot.

Unit price perCopper Canyon Giant Hen and Chicks brings the warm colors of its namesake landscape right into the garden—large rosettes that shift from green through amber and bronze tones as the season progresses, creating a rich, sun-warmed display that deepens beautifully into fall. The unusually large size of the Chick Charms Giant series sets these rosettes apart from standard sempervivums, making them more visible as a groundcover and more striking as individual specimen plants in a container or rock garden feature. Yellow flowers rise above the foliage in summer, and the parent rosette generates offsets steadily over time, gradually expanding to fill any space it’s given. Drought-tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and evergreen through all four seasons, it handles the most challenging planting conditions without complaint. Like all hens and chicks, it asks for almost nothing beyond a sunny position with reasonable drainage. An architectural, colorful, and completely carefree ground-level presence.

Full sun and sharp drainage are its only requirements in return for a generous summer bloom that bees, swallowtails, and other pollinators absolutely can’t resist. The dried flower stems are as beautiful as the fresh, making it a natural choice for cutting and bringing indoors.
