Sempervivum 'Mint Marvel'™ – Hens and Chicks
Mint Marvel™ is a Chick Charms® original cultivar (also known as S. calcareum 'Sir William Lawrence') prized for its crisp green rosettes with striking dark red tips. A notably strong grower, it stands out for its exceptional ability to survive cold, wet winters better than most Sempervivum. It produces abundant offsets on very short stolons, quickly forming a dense, tidy colony. Pet safe and easy to propagate, it's an excellent choice for rock gardens, containers, troughs, and borders.
