Sempervivum

We loose a lot if they get too wet, glass cover or similar helps.

I suspected it, thank you x

I put mine in a shelter to keep dry, but the ones on the wall are all right because it drains quickly.

Thanks Hywel, so the cold greenhouse would work?

Yes :)
or cover with a glass sheet as DD suggests. That works too.

Thanks

I dont cover mine, but they are all very well-drained.

So we're ours K, but they can't cope with excessive winter wet!!

We must get generally drier winters because I've never lost any to wet.

I have mixed lots of sand with the compound but here I feel they will need help x

YOu are in a frost pocket Dawn.

Yes and what a nuisance it is, we had a light grass frost last week, sigh. I've come to realise the cold wet clay kills some plants rather than the frost, worst combination here, cold, wet and soil that isn't free draining, I lost A Indian summer, need another and will ensure it's planted in a dry warmer spot.

I've started to cover my Semps, it's been so wet.

I think I will have to. I wonder if a plastic, ventilated cloche would work.

Cloche, maybe a bit humid inside?

Hmmm
