Thank you everyone! What a nice place to be and so much help and advice. After I posted I went out to the garden center but didn't buy anything (they didn't have any sempers!).
It is great to come home to some replies!
Webesemps thanks for the tectorum ID. They seem to love wherever I put them but I think that's mostly luck because I really knew nothing about them when I planted them years ago. That is interesting about the Flamingo and I will definitely take some seasonal photos of it. I don't plan on putting that one in the garden but into a nice pot so I can keep an eye on it. It has 2 little pups already. I hope ValleyLynn finds some photos. I have seen some on the web but never sure if they are the correct IDs.
I will separate and pot up a few. Many "chicks" look like they are big enough to plant right out. I think I have a nice place to put them in my newly prepared bed (west facing but gets protection from trees and boulders. And in an area which gets morning sun but no afternoon sun. Is that suited to semps? I was thinking of putting some echeverias in with them but the frost and cold worries me a bit.
Semps are not common in Aus and I live in a sparsely populated alpine area - people here tend to plant conifers and deciduous trees, roses, bulbs, annuals and woody Aus natives to cope with drought and snowcover.
I am dealing with big lizards that bite chunks out of my succulents, even took huge bites out of my Sansevieria but they don't touch the semps! Another reason to love them.
Thank you again
