📌 Note: The rosettes of Sempervivum Chick Charms® ‘Cranberry Cocktail’ may vary slightly in size, shape, and color intensity depending on the season, light, and growth stage. Some outer leaves may show small imperfections, slight handling marks, or may dry naturally as the rosette renews itself. Well-developed clumps may be delivered with numerous offsets and developing flower stalks. These aspects are normal and do not affect the plant’s viability.
