Succulents
These water preserving plants are an easy-care choice for both indoor & outdoor gardeners. Many varieties are available as annuals, but can be wintered over indoors, & enjoyed throughout the seasons. Multiple succulent plants in a planter make a big statement.
Additional Information
Succulents are low-maintenance & drought tolerant plants that preserve water in their leaves. They are easy to grow indoors & outdoors. Many annual varieties can be summered outside & travel indoors for the winter. Multiple plants grown together in pots make an eye-catching garden. They have shallow root systems & are not aggressive growers. No special soil is needed & shallow containers work well for growing succulents. These plants are also easy to propagate & can be shared with friends!
Restrictions:
Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)
