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.
