So with all this talk of fall we’re still in the 100’s here in Austin and my leafy green plants are needing lots of extra TLC. My Century plant however is THRIVING!!! It really motivates me to design more with succulents and cactus in the yard…
Cactus prefer the heat and dry conditions, ie the desert that is my front yard right now!
I found Danger Garden’s blog looking for Pineapple Lily care instructions and went on dreaming of what a fabulous landscape project xeriscaping would be looking at their Southern California Desert Garden photo tour.
I am going to start small though, in containers. I’m so in love with these geometric, wobbly looking ceramic pieces I found on our Pinterest page and Succulents are perfect for them! They look great in terrariums too…
The wealth of succulent textures is amazing. Mixing scale and repeating shapes can be an easy way to create harmony in a garden or container. This beautiful pathway was in our Tumblr blog a few months back.
From small to big installations these
plants are hardy, tolerating
low light and extreme heat.
Keep it green Austin, even in the heat with these hardy plants that can take our extended summers!!!
Remember to keep to our Water Restrictions. Even though we are only at Schedule 1 restrictions we need to conserve…
