Succulents – Drought Tolerant and Forgiving Beauty
Thorny or thorn less, green or orange, fuzzy or smooth, with so many incredible varieties, one thing succulents have in common – they are really forgiving to the busy gardener.
Succulents can survive in the most challenging environments and still provide a variety of color, unexpected blooms, attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. Winter and freezing temperatures are not a challenge for some succulents, and as an added bonus, succulents are drought tolerant too. These unique beauties help your water conservation efforts while providing stunning curb appeal to your property. With their unexpected geometries and shapes, succulents give a special, unique look to any landscape whether planted alone or along other plant material. Gachina Landscape Management has been installing these beauties as companions to other more common plant material and in ‘specialty’ gardens for years.
