Description

A huge wide-spreading Sempervivum with striking colours and a thankfully low-maintenance nature - 'Giants Emerald Explosion' won't shy away in the background!

This reliable houseleek features a remarkable colour combination, as emerald green-edged fleshy leaves darken to a rich burgundy centre. This colour even stays strong throughout the year. Star-like pink flowers emerge every few years in summer for an extra layer of interest.

Get the whole family involved with gardening! This big, drought-tolerant plant is even a favourite with kids, thanks to how easy it is to grow, and could even prove to be a ‘foot in the door’ for a life-long interest in the garden.

Sempervivums need to be planted in well-drained soil in full sun, tolerating conditions of drought once established. Leaf colour is dependent on temperature and light, so may intensify or soften at different stages of the year - just be sure to keep an eye on it to witness the fascinating changes!

Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, ready for planting.

Top Tips
Any offsets from this Sempervivum can be repotted in spring, or used to fill in border or bed gaps.
Care Information
  • Plant in full sun and in well-drained soil.
  • Sempervivum plants prefer well-drained soil with sand or grit added.
  • Grow them in trays or pots, in the ground, or on wood or in rock piles. Once established, the plants need no further care.
  • Once a rosette flowers, it dies back so simply pull out the dead rosette and fill the hole with gritty soil. The plant will quickly fill in any empty spots with offsets.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.

2. Should any hardy plant fail to thrive thereafter, we'll replace free of charge - you just pay the P&P
