Succulents
Color, texture and sculptural form—with a huge range of choices for containers and Southern California gardens.
Succulents are often called “easy,” but the right light, drainage and watering rhythm still matter. Our team can help you match the plant to the place you actually have.
Bright light, good drainage, better results.
Small changes in sun exposure, pot size and soil can make a big difference—especially during hot weather or in containers.
For sunny gardens
Many succulents thrive in strong light, but plants moving from shade into intense sun should be acclimated gradually.
For containers
Drainage holes and a fast-draining mix matter more than a decorative pot alone.
For collecting
Different forms, colors and growth habits make succulents especially fun to combine and compare in person.
