Succulent Container Garden Plans - Part 4

Crazy Quilt Container Combo

Silvery blue foliage is a good indicator of plants that require little moisture to thrive. Plants in this shallow bowl echo the container's blue color. Stiff, grasslike stemless senecio and variegated Kamchatka sedum add vertical elements among the low-growing groundcovers.

A. Variegated Kamchatka sedum (Sedum kamtschaticum variegatum) -- 1
B. Jungle Fire hen-and-chicks (Sempervivum 'Jungle Fire') -- 1
C. Echeveria elegans -- 1
D. Sedum lydium -- 1
E. Stemless senecio (Senecio acaulis) -- 1

Masterful Mix

This dish garden contains both familiar and unique succulents. Some, such as the silver jade and warty panda plant, are close relatives of the more common green jade and panda plant. Medicinal aloe is renowned for its ability to soothe burns. Black mondo grass is usually considered a groundcover rather than a succulent, but because it has low water needs, it works well in the mix.

A. Felt bush (Kalanchoe beharensis) -- 1
B. Harpoon daisy (Senecio cuneatus) -- 1
C. Moonstones (Pachyphytum oviferum) -- 1
D. Black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens') -- 1
E. Silver dollar jade (Crassula arborescens) -- 1
F. Warty panda plant (Kalanchoe tomentosa) -- 1
G. Medicinal aloe (Aloe vera) -- 1

Vintage Appeal

Surround a large-leaf succulent with a ring of rosette-forming ones for a quick container fix. Mulch with dried sheet moss for a decorative touch. (Keep the moss dry so that it doesn't cause the succulents to develop stem rot.) This vintage pedestal and bowl provide the perfect backdrop to the plants.

A. Ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) -- 7
B. Echeveria shaviana 'Mexican Hens' -- 1
C. Paddle plant (Kalanchoe luciae) -- 1
D. Lola echeveria (Echeveria 'Lola') -- 6

Delightful Dozen

Display a mix of succulents still growing in their 4-inch nursery pots set in a vintage wood carrying case. Move the plants around to vary the look, or switch them out with different varieties to keep the combination fresh. A thin mulch of sphagnum moss disguises the nursery containers.

A. Coral aloe (Aloe striata) -- 1
B. Stemless senecio (Senecio acaulis) -- 1
C. Sedum furfuraceum -- 1
D. Echeveria 'Easter Bonnet' -- 1
E. Watch chain plant (Crassula lycopodioides) -- 1
F. Zanzibar aloe (Aloe zanzibarica) -- 1
G. Ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) -- 1
