Tips for Creating a “Flower” Bed with Succulents
- Use rosette succulents—those with leaves arranged like a daisy, rose or star.
- Plant densely for a lush look. Flowerbeds look best when plants interweave.
- Use a dramatic large rosette for contrast and a focal point.
- Know how big plants get. Use dwarf agaves, for example, not century plants.
- Combine variegates and use them to brighten shady spots.
- Contrast blue with orange, green with red, yellow with purple, darks with lights.
- Rather than gravel, fill gaps with small sedums, dymondia, or blue fescue.
- Echeverias are the ultimate rosette succulents. They're generally best in pots.
- In large beds, include soft-leaved foxtail agaves (Agave attenuata).
- Combine and repeat aeoniums. It’s magical when their pinwheel leaves overlap.
- For a natural, uncontrived look, arrange succulents in drifts, not straight lines.
