Parfait Perfection Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum Chick Charms 'Parfait Perfection')

Parfait Perfection Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum Chick Charms 'Parfait Perfection') is a stunning, color-shifting succulent known for its rosettes that blend shades of pink, coral, and green throughout the seasons. This drought-tolerant perennial provides year-round visual interest, rapid offsetting growth, and an eye-catching focal point in rock gardens, borders, and container plantings.

Distinctive Features

'Parfait Perfection' forms compact, symmetrical rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves that shift from soft green to warm coral-pink hues.

This variety grows 4 to 6 inches tall and spreads up to 12 inches, making it perfect for filling small spaces with vibrant seasonal color shifts.
