Description

Easy to grown and versatile plants, these houseleeks are welcome additions to any garden. ‘Gold Nugget’ takes gardeners on a fascinating journey of colour across the seasons! Pointed leaves first emerge in golden green with dark red edges in spring, before becoming completely coated in lime green for summer.

Autumn sees the springtime colour combination of red and green return, before a dark red spreads across the leaves in winter. Plus, summer brings a subtle scattering of pink star-like flowers, which gather in clusters on leafy stems.

Really easy to grow and a favourite with kids, Sempervivums just need well-drained soil in full sun, tolerating drought when established. Please note that leaf colour is dependent on temperature and light, so may vary in intensity across the seasons.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Plant 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 plants 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.

Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.
