Product Details

Highlights

October Daphne (Sedum sieboldii, now Hylotelephium sieboldii) (Ohba): Large, powder blue leaves with scalloped, pink edges. Some show creamy stripes of variegation. The leaves grow in whorls of three and are stacked on arching, skewer-like stems up to 12.0" long. Each fall it produces sweet, round clusters of tiny pink flowers and provides an important late-season nectar source for pollinators.

This species is native to East Asia and tolerates temperatures down to at least -20F by going dormant and losing its aboveground material. Stems and leaves re-sprout each spring. Unlike most hardy stonecrops, October Daphne can grow indoors near sunny windows, though it tends to be more gangly and less pink. Stem cuttings re-root very quickly.

Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.

Does chick charms dies after flowering like sempervivum?

2 years ago • Staff Answer

They do. However, any chicks, or offsets, they make will survive the flowering rosette. The chick charms are just premium Sempervivum so they take the same care.

Does this come as a pot with one Gold Nugget rosette, or with multiple rosettes in a single pot?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

This Chick Charms Gold Nugget comes fully rooted in a 2" pot. Usually, a single rosette completely fills the pot, but occasionally there will be smaller bonus rosettes growing around the base of the main plant.

What size pot is ideal for planting sempervivum gold nugget plants?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

This Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget' listing is for a plant fully rooted in a 2" pot. If you want to plant it individually, look for a pot about 2.5"-3.5" in diameter. You can also plant multiple in a single container, leaving a little space between rosettes. Still try to find a pot less than 6" deep, so that it does not hold too much water. And, as always, pick pots with drainage holes and use gritty, well-draining soil.

Can Chick Charms Gold Nugget thrive indoors under grow lights?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

They can grow indoors under a Succulent Grow Light or on a south-facing window sill, but they do not show their best colors and can be more vulnerable to rot. All Sempervivum, including Chick Charms, grow best outdoors and can tolerate frosts down to -20F (Zone 5). Cold nights and winters are what bring out their vibrant pigments, and without those they tend to stay greener indoors.

Can sempervivum Gold Nugget overwinter indoors on a windowsill then planted outside in the spring?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

It can, just be sure it gets as much sun as possible or supplement with a Succulent Grow Light. Also remember that Sempervivum growth slows down a lot during the winter, so it should receive little to no water. After all chance of frost has passed, you can move it outdoors and gradually acclimate it to partial then full sun over the course of about two weeks. Then you can plant it, and once it's established a strong root system (about a month) it will be able to tolerate more extreme conditions.

Do sempervivum gold nugget plants multiply?

8 months ago • Voted Best Answer

Yes! Sempervivum like this 'Gold Nugget' produce lots of new little offsets called "chicks" each spring through summer. The small new rosettes will sprout around the base of the main rosette (the "hen"). They can be left there to root or you can gently pull them off and plant them elsewhere.

Would Chick Charms Gold Nugget show its full range of colors outdoors in a temperate climate--without much cold weather?

2 years ago • Staff Answer

You still can get some great gold tones by gently stressing Sempervivum with full sun and drought. Even in a temperate climate (such as hardiness zones 9+) this 'Gold Nugget' will color up if planted in full sun with rocky, well-draining soil, and very infrequent water. But you're right, you might not see some of the hot pink accents it gets in response to hard frosts.

Should I repot the Chick Charms Gold Nugget succulents when they arrive?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

Yes, it is a good practice for plant hygiene to re-pot any plant you buy into a fresh pot and soil. For outdoor succulents like this Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget', you can also plant them outside directly in the ground, since they tolerate temperatures down to -20F. We recommend transplanting them within about a month of receiving your new succulents. If you're using a pot, pick a container with a drainage hole and use a gritty, well-draining succulent soil. For more information, check out the Video Guide to Transplanting Succulents.

I just ordered A gold nugget sempervivum in the winter. Should I try and get it in the ground now or wait until the ground warms up?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

It's best to wait until all chance of frost has passed before planting succulents outdoor, including Sempervivum. In the meantime, keep it on a sunny, south-facing sill or under a Succulent Grow Light. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves start to feel less firm.

When you say sempervivum Gold Nugget can take "full sun," does that include New Mexico's intense sun?

8 months ago • Staff Answer

Correct, succulents, including Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget', are impacted by the combined effects of sun, heat, and drought. So in a particularly hot climate, we can compensate by giving them a little less sun exposure and/or a little bit more frequent water. For hot, desert climates like the American Southwest, we recommend planting Sempervivum in spots that get afternoon shade and aiming to giving them a deep watering in the morning before particularly hot days.
