With its captivating colour palette, this perennial succulent showcases glossy gold leaves tinged with a deep maroon hue at its centre. Forming a compact rosette of fleshy foliage, this houseleek periodically sends up delicate pink blossoms to grace the summer, adding a delightful touch to its already striking appearance. Ideal for low-maintenance gardening, 'Giant Gold Mine' is not only visually captivating but also an easy to manage, colourful introduction to pot
Plant or pot up using a loam-based potting mix with added grit for optimal drainage, watering moderately during growth and sparingly during the cooler months. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during the growing season to support healthy growth. Remove spent plants after flowering to encourage new rosette formation. Leaf colour is dependent on temperature and light, so may intensify or soften at different times of the year.
