Joubarbe

The joubarbes (of jovibarba , “Barbe of Jupiter”) - Sempervivum - are small Plante S of the family of the Crassulacées producing rivet washers of Feuille S fleshy whose form evokes that of a Artichaut, coupled the ones with the others. The Fleur S appear in summer and are of pink, red or yellow color.

General characteristics

They are plants succulent S (the term comes from Latin suculentus which means “full with juice”, not to confuse with delicious) very resistant to the Sécheresse and not requiring any care almost when they are cultivated. They are liked in any well drained ground, even dry and poor. They support all types of exposure.
