Sempervivum is a succulent perennial plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family. It is found particularly in the mountains of Europe.
This plant is also known as "houseleeks". It produces rosettes of leaves in a multitude of hues, comparing it to an artichoke. These plants adapt to most soils, but generally prefer exposure to full sun in a well-drained environment. Very robust, these plants successfully survive significant temperature variations. For this reason, certain species of Sempervivum are very popular when placed as ground covers.
