sempervivum-leaved rock jasmine

Grow in a scree bed, in vertical crevices in rock or in moist but gritty, well-drained soil, or in containers

No pruning required

Propagate by seed sown in containers in an open cold frame as soon as ripe or in autumn. Root single rosettes as cuttings in early to midsummer. Keep moist but water from below to avoid wetting the rosettes

Generally pest free. Prone to aphids under glass

Vulnerable to fungal diseases in damp conditions. Remove dead rosettes to reduce the risk of infection
