6:48 AM | Author: munib

The beauty of succulents is that they can take full sun and can live in a container or in the ground. Normally if you want more of one that you have, you can break off a piece of it and either stick it into the ground or into a glass of water and it will sprout roots. Then you can plant it wherever you want.

060908_garden.jpgSedum Adolphi or Golden Sedum will turn brighter orange the more sun it gets and propogates really easily. It's a nice contrast to the blues and greens that you typically see in succulents.

061008_henand.jpgEcheveria Geranium or Hen and Chicks. A classic with a nice texture.

061008_fire.jpgEuphorbia tirucalli or Fire Sticks

Aeonium sunburst have a great color palette and grow in a similar pattern to hen and chicks.

061008_round.jpgKalanchoe thyrsiflora has great smooth rounded leaves with a tinge of red.

061008_donkey.jpgDonkey's Tail or Burro Tail is a 70's classic--does anyone have a mom or grandmother that didn't have one of these hanging in the kitchen? It's great hanging over the side of a pot with other succulents.

061008_blue.jpgSenecio serpens or Blue Chalk Stick has shown up in a lot of xeriscape gardens as a fun blue accent that grows quickly and can cover a lot of space.
