About this plant
A genus of around 25 species of succulent herbaceous plants that come from the northern hemisphere, from Asia Minor to the Himalayas, and parts of North Africa. They are very similar in appearance to the popular houseleek, Sempervivum forms as well as Jovibarba. They are plants that grow in rocky and stony places, needing very sharp drainage and plenty of sunshine.

Spring
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
Spring - early-mid · Planting
Divide when too large
The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
