Jackson & Perkins Sempervivum Chick Charms
Best low maintenance succulent for adding year round color to rock gardens
This succulent is the ultimate chameleon, shifting from vibrant winter oranges to lush summer greens without needing a green thumb. It’s nearly impossible to kill and thrives on neglect, though you’ll sacrifice the rapid, sprawling growth of other houseplants for its slow, deliberate, and architectural rosette form.
