Thriving in gravel, rocks & sand, even stone walls crevices, where there is little soil, suits Sempervivum just fine! Tuck into retaining and stone walls where the nooks and crannies allow it to gain easy footholds.
Let ramble and spill out of containers and tumble throughout Rock gardens, Sempervivum loves drier conditions and forgives if you forget to water.
Easy-care houseplants in bright light, try displaying them in Succulent picture frames, Living Walls, and Terrarium or Cloche displays!
Try something unique with Kokedama - the practice of taking the root ball of a plant and surrounding it in a mud ball, which is coated with soft green moss and suspended. Meaning you can have your garden anywhere, even if there is no window ledge!
