Sempervivum tectorum, also known as the common houseleek, is a succulent evergreen perennial plant that is native to the mountains of southern Europe. It is widely cultivated in Europe for its appearance and has a long-standing tradition of being believed to protect buildings against lightning strikes. The plant has grey-green, tufted leaves and produces clusters of reddish-purple flowers in the summer. It is highly variable due to the numerous cultivars that have been propagated and traded for almost 200 years. Sempervivum tectorum has a rich history and has been given many names in different languages, often associated with the Roman thunder-god Jupiter or the Norse thunder-god Thor. It is also believed to have medicinal properties and has been used in herbal medicine to treat various ailments. The plant is still traditionally grown on the roofs of houses in some places.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!Start at 20°C; if no germination occurs within 3 months, cool seeds to 4°C for 1-2 months, then return to 20°C. |
Requires Light or Surface Sowing: These seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil or only very lightly. They are often very small and sown directly on the surface of the growing medium. |
