x Semponium 'Sienna' quick care tips

Watering

The x Semponium 'Sienna' would like watering between once and twice per week in the peak growing season. It is advised to reduce watering when plants are dormant due to a heatwave and to significantly reduce/ stop watering when conditions are frosty.

Feeding

x Semponium 'Sienna' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

x Semponium 'Sienna' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

x Semponium 'Sienna'

Introducing the beautiful intergeneric hybrid ×Semponium ‘Sienna’, the world's first official cross between Sempervivum and Aeonium, specifically a cross of Sempervivum ‘Green Ice’ and Aeonium ‘Ice Warrior’.

x Semponium 'Sienna' is a fast-growing succulent that grows into a stunning conical shape. It produces a large central rosette with layers of evenly spaced smaller rosettes. The leaves are slender, with the ends of the foliage becoming more spoon-shaped. One of the most outstanding features of the x Semponium 'Sienna' is the colour. It has beautiful Sienna reds in the spring and summer, intensifying and becoming a vibrant electric red when positioned in strong sunlight. This succulent is one of the most attractive hybrids we have ever created at the nursery. The way the leaves illuminate when the sunlight hits them is like nothing else: a genuinely stunning plant worthy of a prime location in the garden.
