The Garden Pictorial

desert delights

tough it out with these summer drought lovers
 

Subtle shades and contrasts of foliage form, make this succulent display perfect for a sunny, summer spot. Purple patterns on the strappy leaved mangave, pick out similar tones in the perky, upright kalanchoe. This follows through in the foliage of the echeveria, with its orange flowers, and the stems on the trailing senecio, while the silver-blue cotyledon creates a contrasting centrepiece to this ribbed clay pot.

Season: Summer- August
