A terrific article Douglas, thank you for sharing it. I will look into some of these for my garden planning next year. I really liked the African daisies and several others have piqued my interest as well. -
Beautiful! love the ground cover, and the succulent in the planter! gorgeous! -
thank you for sharing, i love succulents after seeing yours im ready to get more... -
The Safari Sunset is aptly named. Wow, what wonderful, rich, vivid colors. I think I'll have to hunt around for one of those. Thanks Douglas!! -
After this year I'm going to be looking for more succulents to plant in our gardens. I especially love the ground cover in picture two. Quite stunning. The Statice and African Daisies are quite beautiful too. Thank you for sharing this Douglas. I'm going to save it for future reference. -
"Safari Sunset" will apparently get 8 feet tall (!) and is hardy to the lower 20s. I found only one source, a nursery in Oregon that does mail order: http://www.desertnorthwest.com -
Thank you Douglas for the information. It is unfortunate it would attain 8' h.; that fact just ruled it out for my garden, but it is beautiful!!

SOOO PRETTY!!! Thanks for sharing. -
Wow that's pretty hardy. It wouldn't last here since we often have a week or so in the teens or lower. :^( And at topping out at 8 feet it's not something we could winter inside.

Mr. Douglas, you have beautiful hands! -

I will have to look into plants for S.W. Louisiana as I see these are in the N.W. Not necessarily good for my area. But I know a lot of succulents do grow here. I also need some that don't require a lot of sun as I have a mixed shade and sun area that is in need of help. -
Love Agaves!!! -
This is beautiful and i can plant succulents here Iam in central Fl. on the east coast , so t do not get a hard freeze. -
Sherry, I'm not sure how cold you get in that part of Louisiana, but you might want to consider Aeoniums and Echevarias as succulents that will take partial shade.
