Trendy and popular, the iconic houseleek Sempervivums are so easy to grow, very low maintenance, and intricately coloured.
These multipurpose perennials are available in a range of colours, growing deeper in winter as the weather becomes colder. The low-growing plants form in rosettes of evergreen succulent leaves, lending themselves to living carpets of green tones, while also thriving as part of a green roof or living wall.
Also known as ‘Chick Charms’ or ‘Hens and Chicks’, these drought-tolerant Sempervivum can be used to plug even the narrowest of garden cracks. A recent resurgence in popularity is thought to be driven by the undemanding nature, as these varieties can be planted and left. Fully winter hardy, producing multiple new plants every year.
Plus, mature rosettes boast spikes topped with star-shaped flowers in summer, which are adored by insects. Sempervivum require well-drained soil in full sun, tolerating drought once established. This fabulous collection includes three classic houseleeks - an ideal starter kit for those wishing to embark on the succulent revolution!
Supplied as a set of three 9cm pots, including one of each named variety, ready to grow on before planting out.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
