Sempervivum Weberianum

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.
Sempervivum Weberianum is an older and highly valued species of houseleek, known for its compact rosettes and reliable frost resistance, which makes it a proven classic for rock gardens.
Sempervivum Weberianum is a cultivar of unknown origin. This houseleek forms large rosettes that are distinctly hairy, giving them a velvety appearance. The overall habit is robust, and the colouring may change slightly 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 large, velvety rosettes, it is a good choice for growers looking for a striking houseleek.
