셈페르비붐 '피핀'-Sempervivum 'Pippin'

국표에는 없다.

Sometimes called hen-and-chicks, sempervivums, or houseleeks, are hardy, succulent, alpine plants that grow in the wild between rocks in mountainous regions. They look superb when grown in containers, in rock gardens, and in dry stone walls and cracks in paving, especially alongside low evergreen plants such as sedums. In summer tall, conical spikes of greenish pink flowers emerge from the centre of mature plants.

Part of the 'Lord of the Rings' series, Sempervivum 'Pippin' is a beautiful cultivar, bearing large rosettes of deep green, spatula-shaped leaves with dark purple tips.

For best results, grow Sempervivum 'Pipin' in full sun in well-drained soil, preferably in containers with added horticultural grit to aid drainage. Sempervivums don't need feeding, but do benefit from being repotted each year into compost containing slow-release fertiliser. Propagate new plants by gently teasing out the small baby rosettes (chicks) which appear around the main plant (hen), and transplant to a new location.
