Description

These hardy succulents and beautiful and fascinating. They look like they belong somewhere hot and dry and although they certainly do enjoy very well drained, sandy soil and full sun they will happily grow in UK gardens. They form colourful rosettes, spreading via offsets and can take root in cracks in stones and walls and make excellent rockery plants, flowering in shades of pink in summer.

This Sempervivum Collection includes 2 x plugs of each of the following varieties:

  • Sempervivum arachniodeum: Light green leaves with a touch of red with cobweb-like hairs.
  • Sempervivum calcareum: Blue-green with purple tips.
  • Sempervivum ‘Jovibarba allionii’: Bright golden green rosettes.
  • Sempervivum ‘Ruby Heart’: Silvery green flushed deep red at the base.
  • Sempervivum ‘Standard Green’: Bright green.
  • Sempervivum tectorum ‘Rubin’: Dark burgundy.
Top Tips
Plant individual varieties in a clay pot in gritty soil, top with small gravel and display each one on a sunny outside windowsill.
Care Information
  • Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.
  • Sempervivum plants prefer well-drained soil with sand or grit added.
  • Grow them in trays or pots, in the ground, or on wood or in rock piles. Once established, the plant’s need no further care.
  • Once a rosette flowers, it dies back so simply pull out the dead rosette and fill the hole with gritty soil. The plant will quickly fill in any empty spots with offsets.
