Description
Define your individual style. With their colourful leaves, sculptural shapes, and simple care, succulents are beautiful yet forgiving plants for pots. If grown in containers, these dry-climate jewels, which include but are not limited to cacti, can be brought indoors in winter and so can thrive anywhere in the world.
In this inspiring compendium, the popular author of Succulent Container Gardens provides everything beginners and experienced gardeners need to know to create stunning container displays of exceptionally waterwise plants. The extensive palette includes delicate sedums, frilly echeverias, cascading senecios, edgy agaves, and fat-trunked beaucarneas, to name just a few.
Easy-to-follow, expert tips explain soil mixes, overwintering, propagation, and more.
