Sempervivum Aglow
The plant likes full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. It is suitable for rock gardens or portable containers.
Water the plant in a pot after the substrate has dried out. When placed in a rock garden, water as needed.
The plant is fully frost-resistant.
The name Aglow means "glowing" – a reference to how the rosebush bursts into warm, colorful tones when grown properly.
Sempervivum Aglow is a cultivar bred by Edward Skrocki from the United States of America in 1981. This houseleek forms medium-sized rosettes with a brownish base colour complemented by dark-coloured leaf tips. The colour contrast is clearly visible, and the overall colouring changes during the year according to the seasons.
It is best grown in a sunny position in a well-draining, mainly mineral substrate that should not remain waterlogged for long periods. It is suitable for rock gardens, dry stone walls and containers with drainage, and tolerates year-round outdoor cultivation. The plant is monocarpic, meaning the mother rosette dies after flowering, but it produces new rosettes beforehand, ensuring the continuation of the planting. Thanks to its balanced colouring, it is a good choice for enriching a houseleek collection.
