Sempervivum - or 'Houseleeks'

Pronounced Semper-VIE-vum or Semper-VEE-vum, enthusiasts just call them 'Semps'. 

Sempervivum or 'Houseleeks' are fascinating plants and we are huge fans. New varieties bred in recent years have renewed interest in these plants and they are increasingly popular with some people gathering huge collections. We have many more varieties to offer in the near future including exciting recent introductions from European breeders and some now hard-to-find old favourites.
