Succulents are easy to grow in Florida and make especially beautiful arrangements for a sunny patio. Succulents require little water and can survive on rainfall alone. One important key is a well drained soil so the container does not become soggy when we do get a lot of rain. Use your standard potting soil and add 25% perlite to the mix so it drains quickly and you don’t ant to buy cactus and succulent soil which also is ideal.

Succulents are the perfect plant to give and share. They last a long time so your friends can be successful even if they do not remember to water. Classic Creation Succulent 9 packs are exclusively available at most Florida Home Depot garden centers.

Low bowls are ideal for making mixed arrangements of succulents.

Strawberry jars are ideal for sedum and succulent collections.

Sedum Florida Friendly Gold is the hardiest Florida sedum available for outstanding performance throughout the state in containers and in the landscape. It is heat, rain, humidity and freeze tolerant and available at most Florida Home Depots in Gallon Florida Friendly Perennial pots and in an economical 9 count Classic Selection tray.
