Sempervivum are useful plants for gardening situations in which other plants might fail and have long fascinated gardeners. Many people are aware of only a single, rather uninteresting green cultivar, but selections from the wild and the work of hybridizers have resulted in over 7,000 cultivars with a range in size from 1/2" to over 1' in diameter and colors from gold to black. Clearly the gardener has never had a better choice.
This book covers all aspects of their history, taxonomy, culture, propagation, hybridizing, the people involved in the production of Sempervivum, and a long list of cultivars that are recommended for the gardener. Color illustrations show not only the cultivars, but garden uses and cultural practices.
Hardcover, 28 pages, 2018.
