Can anyone name this? Weed or not?

Alpine plant. Sempervivum.

I love these, mum had them in her rockery. She called them houseleeks.

Aka houseleek

I love these too. Mine have had babies and run out of space so I have about 30 little pots of them. They make tons of babies. They are so cute.

Look great with other alpines/succulents in a shallow pot/trough/old sink. Mix lots of gravel in with soil and make sure there's good drainage.

Thank you all. I've just discovered them in an old forgotten container so they obviously look after themselves quite well!
