Sempervivum : A Gardener’s Perspective of the Not-So-Humble Hens-and-Chicks Hardback
by Kevin C. Vaughn

- Information
Description
Sempervivum have long fascinated gardeners and are useful plants for gardening situations in which other plants might fail.
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 in. to over one foot 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, 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.
