But there are also several thousand horticultural varieties, offering a great diversity of shapes and colours! Their leaves can be green, reddish, bronze, purplish, sometimes almost black... Rosettes are evergreen, remaining present throughout the year. Houseleeks also produce attractive star-shaped flowers, often pink, red or yellow. <strong>Houseleeks prefer warm, rocky spots</strong>. Place in full sun, ideally between stones in a rockery, or on a wall. Soil must be well drained to avoid stagnant moisture. They tolerate poor soils well. They adapt to a variety of growing media, and are undemanding plants that do not require much soil to grow. They can be planted on a wall, on a roof, in a pot on a windowsill or a balcony... Generally, they look after themselves and need little maintenance! A clump of houseleeks will easily remain in place for years without any care! Houseleeks renew themselves by regularly producing offsets, which makes them very easy to propagate.
