Sempervivum sosnowskyi

A Caucasian houseleek recorded from a handful of sites in southern Georgia and listed for northeastern Türkiye. Like most Sempervivum it is a fully hardy rosette plant of open, rocky mountain slopes that wants full sun, sharp drainage and a genuinely cold winter rather than indoor coddling.

Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species; the genus grows on sunny rock outcrops, scree and thin stony grassland in the mountains, and that is assumed here.

The only measured site sits at about 1,670 m in the Lesser Caucasus of southern Georgia; Caucasian houseleeks generally range from montane to subalpine belts.
