Houseleek (Sempervivum), cultivar not specified
Seller: ALLIKASILM
About this product
Houseleek (Sempervivum) is an easy, hardy succulent perennial whose fleshy leaves form tight rosettes. This is an assortment with no specific cultivar named – rosette colour and size may vary from plant to plant (green, reddish, brownish). Buy houseleeks in Estonia from the ALLIKASILM nursery.
The evergreen rosettes gradually form dense clumps of offsets. A rosette dies after flowering, while its offsets carry on growing.
Ideal for rock gardens, bowls, containers, dry banks and wall tops. A good choice for beginners and anyone who wants a sun-loving, no-fuss plant.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in full sun in light sandy or gritty soil. Add grit to heavy soil – houseleeks cannot stand waterlogging.
Watering and feeding. Water only at planting and in long droughts. No feeding needed – lean soil gives brighter rosettes.
Care. Remove spent and dried rosettes. Offsets are easy to detach and replant.
Winter. Hardy without cover. Protect container plants from winter rain.
