This Sempervivum Leafy Vine Trough Planter combines timeless garden charm with the resilience of nature. Sempervivums, commonly known as “Hens and Chicks”, are some of the hardiest succulents in the gardening world. The plants thrive in extreme conditions and are remarkably drought-tolerant, making them perfect for busy plant lovers or those new to gardening.
Each trough contains a cluster of Sempervivum rosettes nestled into well-draining compost and topped with natural decorative elements, including hand-placed seashells and bark pieces, to create an aesthetically pleasing arrangement from the moment it arrives. As the seasons change, you’ll notice shifts in the rosette colours, ranging from greens to pinks and purples, offering ever-changing natural beauty.
The Sempervivum Leafy Vine Trough Planter measures approximately 30cm long x 12cm wide x 12cm high, making it compact enough for smaller outdoor areas while still making a bold visual impact.
Each metal trough is filled with healthy Sempervivum rosettes and finished with natural decorative toppings. The size makes it a versatile choice for windowsills, patio tables, balconies, or decorative ledges.
Due to the natural growth habits of Sempervivums, the plants may spread over time, forming offsets ("chicks") that add fullness to the arrangement. This allows the planter to evolve and become more lush with the seasons.
