Sempervivum 'Sugar Shimmer'™ – Hens and Chicks
Sugar Shimmer™ is a Chick Charms® original cultivar (also known as S. 'Soft Line') from MacPherson, prized for its shimmery silver-green rosettes coated in velvety cilia. Low and open in form, its densely packed leaves are edged in soft pink that deepens to lavender through winter — a lovely seasonal color show. A prolific offsetter, it quickly builds into a dense, attractive colony and is both pet safe and easy to propagate.
