Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

These architectural evergreen succulents, also known as houseleeks, form neat rosettes of pointed leaves in a variety of colours. Over time the rosettes multiply to form a dense carpet, and produce tall flower stems in summer, topped with clusters of pink, pale yellow or white star-shaped blooms. Although individual rosettes die after flowering, the gaps are quickly filled by the surrounding younger rosettes for a continued display year after year. Extremely drought tolerant, hardy and low maintenance, Sempervivum 'Mixed' are great for wedging into wall crevices, alpine troughs, gravel gardens or patio containers for an unusual and attractive garden feature. Height: 8cm (3"). Spread: 30cm (12").

Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.

Plant Houseleeks in a dry, sunny position in fertile, well drained soil. If necessary, work some grit into the soil before planting, to improve drainage.

Sempervivums need little attention once established, although an occasional feed will be appreciated. Houseleeks resent wet winter soils and may be prone to rotting in such conditions - if necessary move containers to a dry position or cover plants with a cloche during wet winters.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
