Sempervivum

During the season we have a lot of Sempervivum varieties on the table. Sometimes this number reaches up to 100 different varieties.

We also have Chick Charms from Chris Hansen’s collection.

Since we do not ship anymore we decided not to keep an updated list of Sempervivums on the plant list.

Orostachys- The fascinating genus consists of a few species found in Asia. The distribution area extends from Siberia via Mongolia and Manchuria to Japan (Hokkaido and Honshu). The best known are  Orostachys Spinosa and  O. malacophylla, both of which have proven to be very hardy. Good drainage is important. 

• Orastachy Spininosa, medium size rosettes,$8 each   
• Orastachys Spinosa “Sunshine”, very small rosettes, potted plants, cost $8 each, rare
• Orostachys Spinosa “Strawberry Spring” potted plants, very small rosettes, $8 each, rare

All Sempervivums require well-drained soil and full sun
