Fire Dragon Hens & Chicks (Sempervivum calcareum ‘Fire Dragon’)

Fire Dragon Hens & Chicks is a striking, low-growing succulent valued for its dramatic rosettes and bold colour contrast. This cultivar of Sempervivum calcareum is known for its blue-green foliage accented with deep red tips, creating a vivid, eye-catching display.

This evergreen succulent forms tight rosettes that multiply over time, producing offsets or “chicks” that spread to form a dense mat. The foliage maintains its colour year-round, intensifying in cooler temperatures. Mature plants may produce tall flower stalks in summer, after which the original rosette will die, leaving surrounding offsets to continue growing.

Fire Dragon Sempervivum is well-suited for rock gardens, containers, green roofs, and dry landscape plantings. Its compact size and sculptural form make it ideal for small spaces and low-maintenance designs.
