Sempervivum vicentei
An Iberian houseleek of the northern and central Spanish mountains, growing in rock crevices and stony slopes mostly between 1,500 and 2,000 m. It is fully frost hardy and wants bright sun, cold winters and sharp drainage; it is an outdoor alpine-trough plant, not a houseplant.
Where it grows wild
Rock crevices, screes and thin stony soil on open mountain slopes, typically on siliceous rock, where the rosettes sit in full exposure and are snow-covered in winter. Habitat details are generalised from Iberian Sempervivum.
Recorded from near sea level to 2,500 m, median about 1,830 m; the low records are likely georeferencing errors or lowland outliers.
