I had an unused fountain that I wanted to do something pretty with. That was last spring. I want to invest in low water plants to fill lots of my patio pots. Succulents last a long time but require very little water. I maybe splashed water on these every two weeks.
I love how it has filled out and grown so beautifully. And this wall just bakes in the summer sun.
You cannot beat the color and texture of succulents. My new favorite plants. Here we can keep them all year as we do not have frosts very often.
That's gorgeous! What a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I love the one in the back.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Elaine. I love the way you've planted it. I, too, am just recently getting into succulents. I planted one outside in the spring and of course, Riley's Dish Planter is full of succulents.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in this week!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love this idea and can't wait to show my mom because she will love it too. I know that she will want to copy this idea for her patio.

These are georgous!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great. I love succulents and that is a wonderful way to display them.
ReplyDeleteI have a few hot spots in my garden and succulents really fit the bill .

I adore succulents. So versatile, needs little water, and have such texture.

Beautiful! Those succulents look very happy indeed.
ReplyDeleteNot likely to see a sunny wall here in Ontario for a few more months...
Ahhhh...The blessings of living in Southern California! Your plants are such lush shades of green and so healthy looking. Clearly, they are happy!

Those look so great and healthy! Ours here would be drooping over the edge. Might have to try those.

I LOVE your fountain with the succulents. I too, love these plants. I love how they have that soft bluish tinge to them. I only have one, and have used it as a houseplant so far. I'll put it outside this summer. Would love to find an old fountain to plant!
ReplyDeleteI adore succulents too! Yours look so lovely and are thriving in your fountain, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
That looks so great! I think it's time for some succulents here!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda

Absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteGood job ~ they're happy and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this hanging on my screen porch. It would be perfect@
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love to see old broken fountains used this way.
ReplyDeleteI can only grow winter hardy succulents but there are some nice ones that will over winter well here. I am envious of your variety though.
That is so gorgeous. I live in Eastern Kentucky and the winters are really cold. My hen and chicks do okay in the garden but I don't really pay much attention to them because they are out in the yard. I have a large urn (too heavy to move) that I'd love to fill with succulents but I am not sure if it survive snow and freezing temps.
