‘HEDGEHOG’ GLOBIFERUM HIRTA SEMPERVIVUM AND CALIFORNIA POPPY

ONE: CALIFORNIA POPPY & ‘HEDGEHOG’ GLOBIFERUM HIRTA SEMPERVIVUM

‘HEDGEHOG’ GLOBIFERUM SEMPERVIVUM SNUGGLING WITH A CALIFORNIA POPPY ALSO KNOWN AS ESCHSCHOLZIA CALIFORNICA IN GARDEN POT.
I LOVE LITTLE RARE ‘HEDGEHOG’ GLOBIFERUM SEMPERVIVUM BECAUSE OF HOW THEY RELEASE FROM THE PARENT PLANT, ROLL AROUND AND SELF-ROOT THEMSELVES TO GROW NEW PLANTS.
A GIFT FROM MY FATHER FOR HELPING HIM AT THE ARBORETUM SALE WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I HAVE HAD THEM FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT ME A LOT OF JOY.
MOST LIKELY MY FIRST LOVE, AND THE REASON THAT I STILL LOVE SEMPERVIVUM PLANTS TODAY.
MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND NEXT YEAR?

FLOWERING ‘TUSCAN BLUE’ ROSEMARY AND ‘BLACK’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM

TWO: ‘TUSCAN BLUE’ ROSEMARY & ‘BLACK’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM

‘TUSCAN BLUE ROSEMARY IN A SHARED POT WITH MY ‘BLACK’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM.
IN MY OPINION, THE VERY BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
‘BLACK’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM FOR ITS COLOR, AND ‘TUSCAN BLUE ROSEMARY’ FOR ITS LEAVES THAT CAN BE USED IN ITALIAN COOKING AND BAKING.

FOR A RECIPE USING ROSEMARY FROM FOOD.COM

ROMANO’S MACARONI GRILL ROSEMARY BREAD RECIPE

‘ORANGE MINT’ AND ‘EMILY’ ARACHNOIDEUM SEMPERVIVUM

THREE: ORANGE MINT AND ‘EMILY’ ARACHNOIDEUM SEMPERVIVUM

I LOVE MINT!
I LOVE THE SMELL OF IT, I LOVE TO WALK THROUGH IT, HOW BEES LOVE IT AND HOW IT USUALLY TAKES OVER A WEED-FILLED BED UNTIL I CAN FIND THE TIME TO WEED.
MOST RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN GROWING MINT IN POTS WITH MY HENS AND CHICKS BETTER KNOWN AS MY SEMPERVIVUM PLANTS.
THEY PARTNER WELL BECAUSE BOTH CAN LIVE IN MINIMAL SOIL, LOVE THE SUN, AND NEED LIMITED WATER.
SHOWN IN THE PHOTO FROM ONE OF MY GARDEN POTS ABOVE ARE MY ‘ORANGE MINT’ AND ‘EMILY’ ARACHNOIDEUM SEMPERVIVUM.
IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE LIKE ME, I CAN’T RESIST A NEW SEMPERVIVUM PLANT OR A NEW MINT PLANT.
THIS WAY I CAN GROW BOTH TOGETHER.

WHILE NOT EDIBLE, ‘JELLY BEAN’ SEDUM ALSO CALLED STONECROP IS ADORABLE GROWING NEXT TO ‘PINK LEMONADE’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM.
BOTH SEDUM AND SEMPERVIVUM ARE EASY TO GROW, EASY TO TRANSPLANT AND EASY TO MAINTAIN.

‘BLACK VELVET’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND CYCLAMEN PERSICUM

SEVEN: ‘BLACK VELVET’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND CYCLAMEN PERSICUM

MY FATHER STARTED GROWING CYCLAMEN PLANTS A FEW YEARS AGO.
HE WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO THEM GROWING WILD IN THE ALPS WHILE VISITING MY GRANDMOTHER IN ITALY.
WHEN MY MOTHER WAS A CHILD SHE USED TO PICK FRAGRANCE CYCLAMENS GROWING ON THE ALPS WITH HER SISTER.
NOW HE GROWS THEM IN HIS GARDEN AND SOMEHOW I ALWAYS SEEM TO GET SEEDS IN MY PLANTS SO THIS IS ANOTHER PLANT THAT GROWS WELL WITH SEMPERVIVUM.

CHICK CHARMS ‘APPLETINI’/’REINHARDT’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND ‘EARLY GIRL’ TOMATO

EIGHT: CHICK CHARMS ‘APPLETINI’/’REINHARDT’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND ‘EARLY GIRL’ TOMATO

I’M ALWAYS SURPRIZED WITH WHAT TYPE OF PLANTS APPEAR IN POTS FROM MY BIRDS.
FOR EXAMPLE, I NEVER HAD CALIFORNIA POPPIES UNTIL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO BROUGHT TO ME BY MY LOVELY BIRDS.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THEM I NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO APPEAR.
THIS SUMMER, TOMATOES STARTED GROWING EVERYWHERE.

‘SWEET MARJORAM’ AND ‘BLACK VELVET’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM

NINE: ‘SWEET MARJORAM’ AND ‘BLACK VELVET’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM

I LOVE THE SMELL OF SWEET MARJORAM AND HOW IT COMPLIMENTS MY ‘BLACK VELVET’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM.
WHILE SEMPERVIVUM PLANTS ARE NOT EDIBLE, SWEET MARJORAM IS AND CAN BE HARVESTED FOR CULINARY MARINADES AND RUBS.
GROWN TOGETHER THEY ARE QUITE STRIKING ADDING ADDITIONAL BEAUTY TO YOUR GARDEN.

‘CARMEN’/’RUBY GLOW’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND WILD CLOVER

TEN: ‘CARMEN’/’RUBY GLOW’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM AND WILD CLOVER

BEES LOVE MY WILD CLOVER AND BLOOMING ‘CARMEN’/’RUBY GLOW’ TECTORUM SEMPERVIVUM.
FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES BEES AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM COME TO THEIR GARDEN, PLANT WILD CLOVER IN POTS TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BEES.
YOU WILL NOTICE I DID RECOMMEND PLANTING WILD CLOVER IN POTS, THIS IS BECAUSE IT SPREADS AND CAN TAKE OVER YOUR GARDEN IF NOT CONTAINED.

CONCLUSION

If you have limited space in your garden or perhaps like I have in the past, only a small deck or patio, try this easy and highly rewarding idea planting your Sempervivum in with your herbs, flowers or Sedum in pots.

With these companions by their side, your Sempervivum will flourish, transforming your garden into a vibrant tapestry of life.
