Product description
Sempervivum Cotton Candy is an evergreen succulent plant with light green, rounded foliage that will form from the centre of the plant through to the tip at the peak of each leaf. The bright colour of this succulent is a vibrant way of showing off its eye-catching, wispy centre. This allows the plant to be unique from the rest and, overall, will be a great conversation piece for visitors or passers-by. Moist, well-drained soil is the best conditions for that side of the care process, as well as positioning in full sunlight. You can rely on this plant to store water well so, therefore, it will only require occasional watering for the most-part.

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.

Water Sempervivum sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These plants are drought-tolerant and prefer dry conditions.

Plant Sempervivum in well-drained soil, ideally in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Dig a small hole, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the rosette sits just above the ground. Space plants apart to allow for growth.
