Sempervivum 'Sirius' 9cm

Sempervivum 'Sirius' is a striking succulent plant that features vivid green leaves with dark, almost black tips. This plant forms a large rosette, with the "chicks" emerging from the mother "hen" on slightly extended tendrils. When "happily stressed," the tips of the leaves will turn red, adding a vibrant splash of colour to your garden.

To care for Sempervivum 'Sirius,' it should be planted in a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. It is best to keep the foliage reasonably dry during the winter months if possible.

While Sempervivum 'Sirius' is monocarpic (meaning it will die after flowering), it will produce many chicks before this occurs. This makes it an excellent choice for container gardens, beds, and gravel gardens. This plant is drought-tolerant, clump-forming, winter hardy, and winter dormant, meaning it will survive cold winter temperatures and remain dormant until the warmer weather arrives in the spring.

Overall, Sempervivum 'Sirius' is a beautiful and low-maintenance succulent that will add texture and interest to your garden. Its striking green foliage with dark tips and red flushes make it a great choice for a variety of garden settings.
