Succulents tend to be dense herbaceous evergreen perennials that are more significant for their colors and textures that set them apart from other garden plants.

This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should not require much pruning, except when necessary, such as to remove dieback.

Features

Succulents are very drought tolerant and offer a wide array of colors and textures that are ideal for the garden or ideal for containers indoors or out. 

Planting & Growing

Grown in a range of sizes. With many succulents, foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in sandy soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.

Fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers and foliage against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
