Sempervivums are experiencing a fresh wave of popularity as people are rightfully enthralled by the ease and versatility these plants have to offer.
Known as iconic houseleeks, these delightful ‘Gold Nugget’ take gardeners, both seasoned and beginners alike, on a fascinating journey of colour across the seasons!
Pointed leaves first emerge golden green with dark red edges in spring, before becoming completely coated in lime green for summer. Autumn sees the springtime colour combination of red and green return, before dark red spreads across the leaves in winter. Plus, summer brings a subtle scattering of pink star-like flowers, which gather in clusters on leafy stems.
Really easy to grow and a favourite with kids, Sempervivum just need a fully sunny spot in well-drained soil, even tolerating drought once established. Please note, leaf colour is dependent on temperature and light, so may vary in intensity across the seasons. A variety known for making the most of whatever growing situation on offer, thriving whether in trays or pots, in the ground, or on wood or in rock piles.
Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.
