This month we noticed a change in the weather as the seasons have begun to change again! I've been busy preparing for next year by propagating and planting on the last few semps... its difficult to propagate later into the year when the temperature gets colder as they need to be actively growing.

 

Quick remember: if your sempervivum are in pots outside, they will do well to be moved somewhere more sheltered as we begin to get wetter weather - no issues with the cold, but too much rain leads to soggy bottoms and no-one likes that!

If they are in the ground, they will have their own drainage with the soil so should have no such problems

Online Store

With the weather changing, so are we. Until the weather warms up again, we are choosing to simplify our online store instead of closing it all together.

 

Only the '8 Sempervivum Lucky Dip' will be available.

This will allow for customers to receive a selection of the best sempervivum on the day, ensuring we continue to provide high quality semps.

If there are any specific requests and you are wishing for that 1 specific semp, just send us a message and we will do our best to cater for it.

 Its a good time to set 'back in stock' alerts for the 2024 season!
