Succulent plants are some of the most decorative, their thickened leaves or stems often used to store water.
They survive periods of drought well.
They don’t like sitting in water … good drainage is important.
Some sempervivums and sedums survive northern European winters quite well.
But some succulents can’t take frost and need to be taken indoors in winter.
They add a certain exotic look , their swollen appearance a result of storing water – “succulence”.
They are easy to propagate – just separate offsets and plant in the ground , and generally very easy to look after.
They live very happily in pots – I like to group them on a table in the courtyard .. high up so you can appreciate them.
The most popular to grow are Aeonium, Echeveria and Sedums.
Dictionary definition of the word “suc-cu-lent” : adj. highly interesting; delectable.
I quite agree.

Such great, undemanding plants. We are limited as to what we can grow outdoors.

in our harshest winters, most succulents would come indoors too, though it’s wet boggy ground which they give up on.
