Sempervivum 'Granby' is a captivating houseleek cultivar admired for its vivid colour transformations and exceptional hardiness. Its compact rosettes are composed of lime-green leaves adorned with red and pink highlights, which intensify as the weather warms. In summer, the foliage shifts to richer shades of deep pink and crimson, creating a bold contrast that adds year-round interest to succulent arrangements, rockeries, or alpine gardens.
This cold-hardy Sempervivum variety is ideal for Australian gardeners looking for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants that still offer vibrant visual impact. Whether grown in containers, troughs, or directly in the ground, 'Granby' thrives in full sun and requires minimal care once established. It prefers gritty, free-draining soil and can tolerate light frost, high heat, and periods of dryness—making it a reliable choice for both coastal and inland climates.
As with all hens and chicks succulents, Sempervivum 'Granby' multiplies via offsets, or "chicks", clustering tightly around the parent rosette. This growth habit makes it perfect for covering soil in succulent bowls, edging pathways, or establishing living green roofs. Its seasonal colour shifts and clumping habit ensure year-round appeal, even when not in flower.
A fantastic choice for collectors and beginners alike, Sempervivum 'Granby' offers bold colour, textural interest, and true resilience—making it an enduring favourite in succulent gardens across Australia.
