Color Your Garden With Succulents

No black and white for me — at least not in my garden. Give me a rainbow of colors! Not just standard greens with an occasional flower or two. I want my garden to deliver colors in every imaginable hue! That’s another reason that I’m addicted to succulents. With more than 10,000 succulent species, their colors run the gamut: lush lime to mossy green . . . silvery blue to tender lavender . . . tangerine orange to muted peach . . . daffodil yellow to baby white . . . and ruby red to blush pink. Some succulents double their color punch by boasting multiple hues on the same plant through duo-tones, artistic accents on leaf tips and stems, or subtle shades underneath leaves. Others provide a lively ‘wow factor’ through sassy stripes, prim polka dots, or vivacious variegations galore.

Nature’s color wheel of succulents certainly is as diverse as the painter’s palette. So how do you color your garden with succulents? Well, you start with SUCCULENT MARKET.
