Product description
Sempervivum Cranberry Cocktail is an evergreen succulent plant with rounded foliage that will show colours of both deep purple and light green. The deep purple colour forms from the centre of the plant, with the light green shade coming to the fore as the peak of the plant is reached. Its two-toned visual display ensures that it is a great addition for any garden borders, rockeries and pots. When caring for this variety of Sempervivum, you should plant them in moist, well-drained soil. Full sunlight should be the condition it is kept in. The plant will store water well through its thick leaves, so occasional watering will suffice.

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.
