	Sempervivum
		Sempervivum species are rosette-leafed succulents native to southern Europe; Sempervivum tectorum (houseleek) was customarily grown on slate roofs to ward off lightning.
		At UBC Botanical Garden, Sempervivum and other related genera in Crassulaceae (including Jovibarba) are grown in a dry-stack (unmortared) wall for decorative purposes only.
		Sempervivum (Greek: semper = always, vivum = alive) are hapaxanthic; i.e., individual rosettes die after flowering, but produce new vegetative offsets, which root and grow independently.

	Sempervivum
		Sempervivum, also known on their common name as Houseleeks or Hens and Chicks, are succulent evergreen perennials that produce low, compact, evergreen, flower-like rosettes of succulent leaves.
		Sempervivum are called 'live forever' because this perennial plant keeps its leaves in winter even the temperatures goes under the frost level and is very resistant to difficult conditions of growth.
		Sempervivum can be grown in a place with full sun to partial shade and in well-drained soil, so is the perfect plant for hot, dry, sunny locations.

	The Sempervivum Page
		Sempervivums are related to Jovibarba and Rosularia, choicer and less hardy genera often grown in a cold frame by alpine plant enthusiasts and distinguished from Sempervivum by their flowers.
		Sempervivums are available in many forms and colours, green through browns, yellow, orange, pink and red although they need to be grown in full sun to fully exhibit the different colours.
		Sempervivums will usually survive outside in climates with cold, wet winters such as that of the United Kingdom, although some of the hairy Sempervivum cultivars, Jovibarba and Rosularia will appreciate shelter from the winter rain.
