Thank You to Netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for my honest review.

A very detailed and exhaustive study of sempervivums. Gorgeous pictures that make me want to go out and take my gardening one first step further, It has detailed information on the care and maintaining of sempervivums, as well as propagation and varietal information. It was an absolute joy to read because I am already nuts for these plants. I would recommend it to serious die-hard garden nerds so get out there and propagate!

This is a very detailed study of Sempervivum - from its history to breeder of today. There is a very large section on all the species unfortunately, I would have like a lot more photographs of the plants described., although it probably would have prohibitive as there are a lot of types and hybrids.
The information is interesting such as the fact that they are not dessert plants but have alpine origin, and there is a lot of other information on growing, propagating and care which is interesting. A very good book for people who are really into Sempervivum
