A huge wide-spreading Sempervivum with striking colours and a thankfully low-maintenance nature - 'Giants Emerald Explosion' won't shy away in the background!
This reliable houseleek features a remarkable colour combination, as emerald green-edged fleshy leaves darken to a rich burgundy centre. This colour even stays strong throughout the year. Star-like pink flowers emerge every few years in summer for an extra layer of interest.
Get the whole family involved with gardening! This big, drought-tolerant plant is even a favourite with kids, thanks to how easy it is 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 it to witness the fascinating changes!
Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, ready for planting.
