Sempervivums, or houseleeks, are hardy, succulent, alpine plants often used in patio container displays. Sometimes called hen-and-chicks, they consist of a main rosette (hen) around which baby rosettes (chicks) develop as plants mature. In summer tall, conical spikes of greenish pink flowers emerge from the centre of older rosettes.

Sempervivum 'Purple Dazzler' has bi-coloured foliage in mid-green and dark purple, the colour of which darkens in winter. It's an attractive choice for growing in container displays, particularly with other sempervivums, and sedums.

For best results repot Sempervivum 'Purple Dazzler' each year into compost containing slow-release fertiliser. Propagate new plants by gently teasing out the 'chicks' and potting them on.
