You may have heard of Chick Charms, but have you heard of the ‘Giants’? ‘Gold Mine’ features Golden Yellow edges with a deep red center. The ‘Giant’ Chick Charms were bred to be extra large, large enough to fill a 1 gallon planter at maturity. Standing 3 inches tall and one rosette spreading up to 10 inches wide, Chick Charms® Giants ‘Gold Mine’ is a great addition for rock gardens, wall plantings, borders, ground covers as well as for patio planters.
Chick Charms® Giants are a drought tolerant, evergreen perennial which are hardy in zones 3-8 and grow well in full sun to light shade. ‘Gold Mine’ consists of one large rosette (the “hen”) and many smaller rosettes (the “chicks”) which can be pulled up and replanted elsewhere to start new plants.
If ‘gardening’ really isn’t your thing, Chick Charms® Giants ‘Gold Mine’ can be! Collect several of our ‘chicks’ and create a table top planter, perfect for patios, desks or in a bright location in your home. Succulents are perfect for the gardening expert as well as for the beginner gardener. It is time to start your flock with Hen and Chick, Chick Charms® Giants ‘Gold Mine’ for years of enjoyment.
