Since Sempervivum tectorum (houseleek, bullock's eye, healing blade, homewort, roof foil, roof houseleek, St Patrick's cabbage, thunder plant, welcome-home-husband-however-drunk-you-be) cultivars are adapted to extremes of temperature and drought they are ideal for these containers on a sunny windowsill. In summer flowerstalks appear from the centre of the rosettes bearing starry flowers in white, red, yellow or purple.
