Just gave away a few like that. Mine don't survive the winter outside, but I don't want to fill the greenhouse with them so I keep a good parent of each type and give away the others to people who have a spare windowsill.

My sister split up her plants and gave me these. I'm amazed how little they need to thrive🙂

I know, just ignore them basically. Mine get nice red and yellow flowers in the summer.

I work for a lady who has some containers with Hens and chicks growing in holes on the outside of the container.

Although these are hardy I'll move them into the polytunnel soon as it makes them easier to clean up in the spring.

I love all of these! Thanks for the great picture! I think it's my new favorite plant🙂

You're welcome Cindi :)

I'll post some pics when they flower next year.

Missus took me in 'Eggs to apples', the expensive farm shop. They are selling small pots with individual semps. for four and five quid each, according to their prices I just gave the woman over the road about £60 worth.
