Hens and Chicks 'Fire Dragon'

Fire Dragon is an evergreen hens-and-chicks selection with silvery blue-green rosettes tipped in deep crimson. Its low clumps spread by offsets and produce pink flowers, with mature rosettes about 4 inches tall and 8 inches wide. ## Placement Use it in a sunny rock garden, gravelly trough, container, or well-drained crevice where its rosettes can spread without sitting in winter moisture. The exact product profile identifies the selection as Sempervivum tectorum var. calcareum – Fire Dragon and lists zones 3–9. Its succulent leaves tolerate dry conditions once established, while pink flowers add a brief seasonal accent. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and sharply drained soil. Gravel or coarse mineral material helps water move away from the crown, especially in cold, wet weather. Avoid frequent watering after the offsets have rooted. ## Maintenance Water lightly during establishment, then only when the soil has dried for an extended period. Remove spent rosettes after flowering and allow offsets to fill gaps; divide or thin the clump only when it outgrows its space.
