Sempervivums come in a fantastic array of colours, forms and textures. They make outstanding garden plants either planted straight out into a rockery or simply planted in pots outside all year round. To achieve the colours these beautiful alpine succulents possess they must receive a minimum of 6 hours full sun a day (more sun more intense colour) during the Spring and Summer. 

They are incredibly hardy, surviving temperatures down to -15°C and even lower in some cases. We find that during the spring they are very hungry plants, we recommend to feed them once every two weeks with a liquid seaweed dilution or simply re-pot with a slow release fertiliser feed mixed into a gritty compost mix, this will encourage the Sempervivums to have many new offsets and to put on a magnificent flowering display ideal for nectar loving insects.
