Sempervivum Heuffelii
My new garden plan is to replace as many high-water-usage plants as possible with easy-care low-water-usage plants.
This collection of Sempervivum Heuffelii represents my first step in that direction, and I couldn't be more pleased. They are low-maintenance and very beautiful.
Over the next year they will be joined by sedums, echeverias, ornamental grasses, native perennials and bulbs.
Update: Unfortunately, the sempervivums melted in our intense summer heat, as did the aeoniums. The echeverias, on the other hand, have thrived. Most of the sedums have done well, but some of them also need a cooler environment than we can provide during the summer months.
Most of the plants currently residing in my home garden are succulents, cactus, bulbs and a few Phalaenopsis orchids that I keep in the house. They are all drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant and beautiful.
