Big and wide-spreading, with a treasure trove of evergreen colour and a low-maintenance nature - 'Giants Gold Mine' is a rare find, and certainly not one to shy away from attention!
These reliable houseleeks feature shiny golden leaves that darken to a rich shade of maroon towards the centre of the plants, stretching outwards into huge, low-growing rosettes of fleshy leaves. Star-like pink flowers emerge every few years in summer for an extra layer of interest.
Get the whole family involved with gardening! These drought-tolerant plants are even favourites with kids, thanks to how easy they are to grow, and could even prove to be a ‘foot in the door’ for a life-long interest in the garden.
Sempervivums need to be planted in well-drained soil in full sun, tolerating conditions of drought once established. Leaf colour is dependent on temperature and light, so may intensify or soften at different stages of the year - just be sure to keep an eye on them to witness the fascinating changes!
Supplied as a set of three established plants in 12cm pots, ready for planting.
