Product description
Sempervivum Bing Cherry is an evergreen succulent plant with foliage that forms in a rounded shape from the bottom, before shaping into a tip at the peak of each leaf. The main colour of this variety is a deep red shade and, adding to that are sporadic sections of light green colouring. These plants are great when placed in any borders, rockeries and pots within the garden. Sempervivum should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. The plant will store water well through its thick leaves, so occasional watering will suffice due to its ability to hold the water for longer periods.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
