House Leek

Sempervivum sp.

 

These are hardy evergreen succulents and grow well in West Wales. They can be planted in pots, containers, walls and between paving stones and are being grown on roofs as 'green roofs'. They will grow in very little soil as they have short roots.

The gel from the broken leaves can be used to treat minor burns and nettle and insect stings in the same way that Aloe vera can be used.
