Keep Houseleeks in a well drained bright position and they will thrive, ideally in full sun for the best colouration. Please note that many red varieties, or red tinted varieties will take on green hues and change colour during times of the year with lower light levels in terms of both light intensity and day length. Temperature and humidity levels can also effect colour intensity. We grow our houseleeks partially shaded as they produce more compact growth this way, so if they are looking greener than expected on delivery, this is the reason why. Keep them in the sunniest spot possible and they will really brighten up.
