Add Lasting Colour & Texture with Sempervivum 'Mixed'

Sempervivum, commonly known as Houseleeks, are hardy perennial succulents prized for their star-shaped rosettes and remarkable resilience. This mixed selection delivers a living mosaic of greens, reds, and bronzes—each plant evolving in colour as the seasons change.

• Botanical Interest: Each compact rosette matures into a striking succulent, with mature plants sending up tall flower stems before forming new offsets.
• Growth Habit: Low-growing (typically under 10cm), spreading slowly to form dense mats—perfect for groundcover or filling gaps in rockeries.
• Flowering: Expect curious star-shaped flowers on mature rosettes during summer months.

Easy Care for Busy Gardeners

• Drought Tolerance: Requires very little water—ideal for xeriscaping or anyone seeking a fuss-free garden addition.
• Soil & Sun: Prefers well-drained, gritty soil and full sun but tolerates partial shade. Avoid waterlogged sites.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK (USDA zones 4-9). Withstands frost and poor soils.
• Maintenance: Remove faded flower stalks and dead leaves to keep your display tidy. Minimal feeding required—use a balanced fertiliser in spring if desired.

Design Ideas & Companions

• Create vibrant displays in alpine troughs, rock gardens, or wall crevices.
• Makes an eye-catching accent in containers alongside sedums or alpine phlox.
• Add texture to green roofs or gravel gardens with minimal effort.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Sempervivum?
The best time is spring through early autumn when soil is workable and not frozen.

How much water do they need?
Water sparingly—allow soil to dry between watering. Overwatering is the main cause of problems.

Do they need any special soil?
A free-draining gritty compost or sandy soil is ideal. Avoid heavy clay or soggy conditions.
