Plant a succulent extravaganza out your door with this ultra low-water collection of plants. Sun-loving, sculptural and straightforward, this preplanned garden pairs well with rocks, modern feels and garden art.
Hot yellow blossoms, sultry cactus talons and soft-hued succulents make for a truly climate friendly garden. These plants require excellent drainage but can survive with minimal watering (cactus featuring gardens even hand watering!) once established.
