Sempervivum

Good close-up, I like these little plants. Unfortunately, lost some in the wet weather here over the winter.

Yes Gee they cant stand in water.

Dd2, Very interesting shape and color...sorry, I don't know much about them...Is the spider webby stuff on top a natural part of the plant?

Yes, Skippy, the cobweb is part of the plant. It's spreads quite easily.

Gee. I hear if you grow them on their side then they do better...they're able to shed off the water more easily :)

i have lots of these they are easy but need lots of sun, and not too much water, growing on the side would be a great idea, and the flowers are really amazing!

Mine are all in a gravel bed which I thought would be safe but one patch disappeared this last winter. All the rest are OK - very odd :) I think I will put some in a pot, on its side, as insurance against further very wet winters!.

i always put a few in the porch through winter - just incase!

Marvelous plant you have ,I like it too much.

Thanks, do you grow these at all Drfadi?
