summer succulence
foliage contrast for an easy-care succulent display
With echoed leaf shapes, these fleshy sun lovers will relish the heat of summer. Planted in a shallow terracotta pan with gritty compost, an occasional splash of water is all they’ll need to keep them happy. Plum-coloured houseleeks tone with the centrepiece aeonium and pick out the delicate edging to the leaves of the crassula. The silver-pink echeveria makes an eye-catching contrast while flowers on the green-leaved form make a bright addition.
Season: Summer - August
