Pensacola, Fla. – The Chick Charms® collection is a new series of hardy succulents, with unique, cool colors and uniform habits. For an irresistible display at retail, Chick Charms are offered as collections only.
“Chick Charms varieties were selected by breeder Chris Hansen based on seasonal color, texture and the ability to look good spring through winter,” says Cheri Markowitz, Sales Director. “It’s the first collectible series of hens and chicks.”
Hardy in zones 3 to 9 and full of unique colors and textures, Chick Charms varieties will grow virtually anywhere. They’re low maintenance for the grower too – easy growing and drought tolerant. The varieties stand 2 to 3 inches tall and spread up to 12 inches.
