My new love - Succulents
- Posted by BuddyGarden on July 26th, 2008 filed in 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…..
