From agaves to ice plants, and from sedums to sempervivums, hardy
succulent plants bring beauty, versatility, and intrigue to
perennial gardens in every hardiness zone. No longer relegated to
desert climates, succulents offer extraordinary color, texture,
durability, and ease of care. It's no wonder succulents are some of
the hottest plants to capture the attention of enthusiastic growers
in all zones. Hardy Succulents gives gardeners everything they need
to know to select, grow, and maintain these dazzling, low-fuss
plants. With step-by-step growing instructions, practical care
tips, creative ideas for use, and stunning photographs from
acclaimed garden photographer Saxon Holt, this book is as beautiful
as it is practical - one that will appeal to novices and
experienced gardeners alike. Gwen Kelaidis, an avid horticulturist
and garden designer, provides a comprehensive overview of these
unusual beauties, including tips for purchasing, planting, weeding,
and dividing. She encourages gardeners to consider the plants when
searching for autumn color and explains how succulents can solve
common, and confounding, garden problems. Presented alongside
Holt's captivating, cover-to-cover images, her insights are sure to
inspire growers of all levels and climates. Readers will delight in
succulents' unexpected colors - bronzes, grays, greens, and blues -
as well as their distinct shapes. The first book dedicated to
bringing succulents to every North American hardiness zone, "Hardy
Succulents" holds intriguing possibilities for gardeners looking
for dramatic ways to make bold statements.
