Sempervivum Collection

3 x 9cm Sempervivum

Sempervivums or houseleeks and hen-and-chicks are very hardy succulent alpine plants that grow in the rocky habitats in mountainous areas. They are easy to grow and will tolerate extreme temperatures and drought. They prefer a sunny position in well-drained soil or compost with sharp grit added for drainage. Mulch the soil surface with grit to prevent the leaves getting wet and to prevent rotting.
