Houseleek, also called live-forever, is a group of succulent plants related to sedums. Their fleshy leaves tend to form thick rosettes. Their star-shaped flowers grow on stems up to 1 foot tall and are greenish-white, rose, yellow, or purple. The common houseleek grows wild on Alpine rocks. This plant also thrives around houses throughout Europe, where it is used as a cover for walls and roofs.
The cut or bruised leaves of the houseleek are said to relieve pain of burns or bee stings. People once thought that the houseleek protected against lightning, and called it thunder plant.
