Mountain Houseleek Flower (sempervivum montanum) Hook Norton Oxfordshire England uk
But a houseleek can also grow a beautiful flower for reproduction purposes. Out of the centre of the main rosette emerges a thick flower stalk with colourful flowers at the tip. However, this plant is a monocarpic plant which means it grows for years before it finally blooms, with the plant’s death soon to follow. But by that time, the dying mother plant has already created many clones surrounding the initial rosette. And in time, they also will grow beautiful flowers.
