{"product_id":"sempervivum-blood-tip-9cm","title":"Sempervivum ‘Blood Tip’ (9cm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSempervivum ‘Blood Tip’ is an evergreen houseleek with tightly arranged rosettes of fleshy green to blue-green leaves, each finished with a dark maroon-red tip. The contrast highlights the plant's geometric shape, making it a striking little feature even when it is not in flower. Small offsets develop around the main rosette and gradually form a low cluster of plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is ideal for a sunny alpine trough, a shallow patio bowl or a planting pocket between rocks, where you can appreciate the leaf detail close up. Combine it with differently coloured houseleeks or let it stand out against pale gravel. Give it very free-draining, gritty soil and avoid persistent winter wet. Mature rosettes may produce pink summer flowers; the flowering rosette then dies back, leaving its young offsets to continue the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive dark leaf tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen rosettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffsets form a low colony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse gritty, free-draining compost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater sparingly after establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect troughs from persistent winter wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave offsets to fill gaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink when mature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Months\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer, on mature rosettes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEventual Height × Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–10 × 15–25 cm (foliage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultivar photo by Stephen Boisvert, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0 (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/).
