Sempervivums are tough, translating from Latin as "always alive".   They are versatile plants, they're outdoor plants, part of the group of alpines or rock plants, which like a sunny position - ideally getting as much sun as possible, but at least for part of the day. They survive sub-zero temperatures in winter and natural rainfall is enough in spring/summer, so supplementary watering is not usually required once they're established.  They do not like to be waterlogged.  Ideal outdoor gift but can also be kept indoors. 

These are planted in a metal trough with a leafy vine design on, the planters are then topped with shells and bark pieces. These are a great easy to care for gift.
