Pink blooms of 'Brilliant' showy sedum echo the pinkish purple cast of 'Perle von Nurnberg' echeveria while string of beads tumbles over the edge of this urn. These plants fill the classic roles of thriller (showy sedum), filler (echeveria), and spiller (string of beads).
A. Brilliant showy sedum (Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant') -- 1
B. Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg' -- 4
C. Echeveria shaviana -- 2
D. String of beads (Senecio rowleyanus) -- 1
Tray Bien
This attention-grabbing tray of unusual echeverias, kalanchoe, and silver squill derives its showiness from variegated leaves and sculptural foliage. Most of the plants are rosette formers, so a flat saucer provides just the right scale for a spectacular display.
A. Echeveria 'Mauna Loa' -- 1
B. Graptoveria acaulis -- 2
C. Echeveria lilacina -- 1
D. Silver squill (Ledebouria socialis) --1
E. Paddle plant (Kalanchoe luciae) -- 1
Hanging in the Balance
A salvaged metal plant stand creates the impression of the scales of justice when outfitted with trailing succulents. The Madagascar senecio is related to string of beads, and burro's tail is in the same family as groundcover sedums. If pieces break off, root them to start new plants.
A. Madagascar senecio (Senecio antandroi) -- 1
B. Burro's tail (Sedum morganianum) -- 1
Excellent Echeveria Collection
This trio of echeverias in a pair of mismatched terra-cotta pots creates a stunning centerpiece on this stone slab. The more than 100 echeveria species and cultivars from which to choose means it's easy to create unique groupings of these easy-care succulents. Clump size of these spreaders increases over time. If the plants become too crowded in the container, divide and replant them.
A. Echeveria 'Golden Glow' -- 1
B. Echeveria elegans -- 1
C. Echeveria prolifica -- 2
