Sempervivum, commonly known as Houseleeks or Hens and Chicks, is a genus of captivating succulent plants renowned for their hardiness and resilience.

Key Features:

  • Rosette Formation: Sempervivum plants form stunning rosettes of fleshy, often pointed leaves, creating a mesmerizing geometric pattern.

  • Diverse Colors & Textures: The leaves come in a variety of colors, including green, red, purple, and even shades of blue, often with unique textures like velvety hairs or a powdery coating.

  • Mat-Forming Habit: These succulents spread by producing offsets, or "chicks," that cluster around the "hen" plant, creating a beautiful carpet-like effect over time.

  • Drought Tolerance: Sempervivum is incredibly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established, making them perfect for rock gardens, containers, or green roofs.

  • Cold Hardiness: These succulents are known for their ability to withstand cold temperatures, making them suitable for gardens in a variety of climates.

  • Flowering: While not their main attraction, mature rosettes may produce tall flower stalks with star-shaped blooms in colors like pink, red, or yellow.

Growing Conditions:

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade, although some varieties can tolerate more shade.

  • Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.

  • Water: Requires infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Uses:

  • Rock Gardens: Their drought tolerance and mat-forming habit make them ideal for rock gardens.

  • Containers: Perfect for adding a touch of color and texture to patios, balconies, and indoor spaces.

  • Green Roofs: Their ability to withstand harsh conditions makes them suitable for green roofs.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
