Get fabulous sempervivums delivered to your door from the Garden News Shop

Sempervivums, the iconic houseleeks, are making a welcome return to our gardens, as more and more people are becoming enthralled by this stunning succulent plant.

These simple plants are ideal for any level of gardener, being both easy to grow and maintain. These collectable Chick Charms® each come with their own colourful, individual information tag, making them the horticultural version of a collectable charm bracelet! This year’s musthave is the extraordinary ‘Gold Nugget’, with fiery orange tips to its golden-yellow leaves.

Sempervivums form rosettes of colourful, fleshy leaves and are low growing. They’re also known as ‘hens and chicks’, because the freely produced offsets gather around the mother plant in much the same way as chicks around a mother hen. Sempervivums take a roothold in the narrowest of cracks. They need a well-drained soil in full sun, tolerating drought when established. Leaf colour is dependant on temperature and light, so may vary in intensity throughout the year. Supplied as a collection of 6 plants* with 1 each of:

The most unusual form ever with flame orange-tipped yellow leaves. Emerald green with chocolate tips.

Silver-blue that can flush pink/purple.

Bright green.

Green with red tips.

Plum with a hint of green. *Varieties may vary depending on availability caused by factors outside of our control. Supplied as 6 different plants in 9cm (3½in) pots.
