How to grow -Sempervivum are tough plants, they prefer being outside and will be quite happy outside all year, even with snow and frost. They require a well drained soil to prevent them from becoming waterlogged. We grow ours in a 50:50 grit and compost mix. During hotter temperatures they can close up and may lose some colour but will come back just fine when watered. Of all succulents they are one of the easiest to grow.When they flower in the summer the rosette that the flower comes from will die afterwards as they are monocarpic. Don't worry as the many rosettes they have will quickly fill the space that is left, they look great in planters and are very popular with bees

Hardiness - -15c

Description-  This is one of our Sempervivum we have growing at the nursery that we long ago lost the name to! As with most Sempervivum the colours vary throughout the year but this one has tiny fluffs of hairs on the tips and slightly down along the edges of the leaves. Hints of purple with the green new growth at the center of the rosette.
