Did you make some of those containers, Jo Ann? Some look like hypertufa that I have seen around NGA.

I like the "pot type " no staking.
Dinnerplates are beautiful but too much work.

Jeannie, if by overwinter you mean bring them inside? no.
Sempervivum love winter and need snow cover and cold temps.That's why I gave away all the echeverias ( about 3 )

Here they are in March.

I just meant keeping them from year to year since they are in containers. I have a few semps in the ground, but things in containers generally don't survive through the winter here.
They are really nice. I love the variety you have.

Jeanie, I loose ground planted semps to rabbits and deer.
I also loose a few semps in pots.
I have only been growing semps for 3 years.
I use an extremely porous mix.that doesn't stay damp long.
I buy "rock garden soil " and ad 1/4 th potting soil.

Lovely, Jo Ann. I just hate cutting everything down, don't you? I have to keep telling myself that it will come back eventually.
