Sempervivums For Sale they make great pets! Copied directly from wiki, here’s a brief intro:
Sempervivum /sɛmpəˈvaɪvəm/,[1] is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the Crassulaceae family, known as houseleeks. Other common names include liveforever and hen and chicks. They are succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted leaves in rosettes. In favourable conditions they spread rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny spots.
We have Sempervivums for sale in 2″, 2.5″ and 4″ plastic containers. Whether you are looking for 9, or a few hundred, we are a great source in the USA for succulents, and Sempervivums. We also sell all year round, and ship out all year round! Our stock varies monthly, but we usually almost always have 3-4 different types. Sempervivums are great for filling in little nooks and crannies as they shoot out lots of pups or better described as little chicks! One of the types we carry looks like it is covered in tiny spider webs, we call it our arachnid semp, and we’ve even had a few customers emailing us concerned their box was full of spiders!! No spiders, it’s perfectly natural, pretty amazing what plants can do!
There are a lot of great websites with super detailed info out there. Some sempervivums can tolerate freezing temps, but I don’t recommend ours being left outside during freezing periods.
Here’s some great informational links
