Nice, they would rot if i tried that in my garden so would the Semp if it comes to that.

This is the only place they will survive, around the front path in a slightly raised Iris bed contained by the brick edging.

Gorgeous. I saw some at Malvern yesterday, and decided I would make an alpine arrangement in a large concrete bowl (but not sure what else likes grit and sunshine!).

Sempervivums, Sheila. Protect from winter wet.

Thanks Siris, but I’m thinking something more colourful - maybe Phlox subulata Emerald cushion (which is actually blue!)

Fab colour , do they any pollen stamens as they look a very tight flower , do insects/bees visit them ?

Gg. Never had any seed pods on them, but they increase their little bulbs for me.

It may have just the one pollinator but not native to the Uk I will have a google

Seed is on the market, never tried though. Pollinated by small insects quoted, have to be to get down that hole.

No sign yet of ours....

I've a couple more, different ones, that are only just coming through the soil.
