Bring home the charm and resilience of the Sempervivum plant, also known as
Glowing Embers. This plant is an absolute delight for its unique look and incredible
hardiness.
It forms a central mother rosette , surrounded by a cluster of smaller baby
rosettes. The leaves are thick and fleshy, forming a dense, symmetrical rosette.
Their colors can vary widely, from a vibrant green to deep reds, burgundies, and even
purples, often with beautiful red or purple tips.
Benefits
Its low-growing, clumping habit makes it a fantastic choice for ground cover in sunny
gardens or for filling gaps in rockeries and containers. It’s very cold-hardy, making it a great
option for gardeners in cooler climates who want a succulent that can survive the winter.
For those who enjoy sharing their passion, Sempervivum propagation is simple and
rewarding. The leaves can be easily separated from the mother plant and replanted,
allowing you to quickly expand your collection.
Maintenance
Caring for your Sempervivum is easy. This plant thrives in full sun, which helps it maintain its
vibrant colors and compact shape. A location that receives at least six hours of direct
sunlight daily is ideal. When it comes to watering, this plant is very drought-tolerant, so
allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Use a well-draining soil mix to
ensure proper drainage.
Placement
The best placement for your Sempervivum is in a bright, sunny location. It enhances the
beauty of a rock garden, a container arrangement, or even a small pot on a windowsill. Its
unique growth habit, vibrant colors, and incredible hardiness make it a perfect choice for
both beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
