THE USEFUL 
SEMPERVIVUMS 
There are many uses for the Sempervivum, many chanels of 
outlet for the retail Florist Nurseryman and Designer of land¬ 
scape work. They are so easily grown your customers are always 
successful with their culture. Used in formal areas in parks, 
and around architectural treatments where it is desired to 
produce interesting pattern effects, their ability to thrive under 
crowded conditions, their compact habit of growth, long life, 
interesting color and texture of foliage make them indespensable 
to perform these functions. 
Strong color contrasting species are useful to produce a com¬ 
plete blanket of evergreen foliage in drifts and masses as ground 
cover in dry locations, embankments and rocky slopes. These 
small ( often brilliant ) flowering plants are by their natural 
growth useful in the limited soil pockets between stepping 
stones, between flagging on paved teraces and in the narrow 
crevices between rock garden work, dry walls and stone steps. 
They withstand extreme exposure to the sun and thrive in a 
light soil as well as on heavy clay that is well drained. 
They are very useful for year round color mass effects or car¬ 
pet bedding in vases, especially in rural cemetaries where little 
cultural attention can be given. The beautifully colored large 
species and hybrids make delightful pot pla it specimens. All 
the smaller sorts are very good for miniatures and novelty pot¬ 
tery alone or combined with tender succulents.
