LD632 - Sempervivum
This item is not available for this region.
Sempervivum are useful plants for gardening situations in which other plants might fail and have long fascinated gardeners. 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" to over 1' 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, the 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.
Hardcover, 28 pages, 2018.
