Some of the chicks just rotted, too. Hoping this one isn't a weakling, because I really like it. I will give it a little TLC and see what it does this winter.
Jesse, I'm going out on a limb and suggest that your plant of 'Green Wheel' might be a mis-ID. The plant shown has open rosettes, with low to moderate leaf-density, and much longer stolons. My 'Green Wheel' has extremely tight rosettes with super high leaf density, leaves much more incurled vs. reflexing outwards, and extremely short stolons so the chicks tightly nestle against mother hen. Mine are very neat and require no tweezering. Just got 5" of heavy wet snow, and 20F night temperature as winter decided to drop in early, so I can't show current photos unless the snow melts, but in spring I'm happy to send some rosettes for you to compare. If the snow does melt, I'll post some updated photos of 'Green Wheel'
