My new love - Succulents

I don’t know why I didn’t get any succulents this year but I’m starting to like them a lot.  I like it because it’s very low maintenance and it’s heat & drought tolerant which means less watering.  Going to the nursery is a dangerous event because I always come out of the nursery buying more stuff than I planned! I promised myself not to go back to the nursery after my garden shopping spree in spring.  However I had an excuse this time, I needed to get the organic pest control solution.  Guess what, I was right, I came out of the nursery with yet ANOTHER plant in my hands.  I just couldn’t resist, this plant was screaming “buy me, buy me!” :-) .

So here’s ‘Angelina’ from Proven Winners.  It’s full sun, drought and heat tolerant spreading plant, which is perfect for my sunny deck.

    Ooh, I love succulents. I went on vacation and didn’t worry once about their care while I was gone. Angelina is quite lovely. I too love her lime green foliage.

    [...] grab some stuff and saw they were selling a bunch of succulents including cactis. I bought my first sedum and really got into it because they’re easy to maintain and does not seem to attract too many [...]

    I was watching a guy do lighting experiments with angelina…it was interesting, but he eventually stopped posting…I thought he would develop his blog more…too bad. This is a really wispy, beautiful sedum…I haven’t seen it here…I don’t think sedums do well here, sadly….. :(
