Cacti and succulents are beautiful and varied. Some are useful groundcovers, or they can be tall like a tree ore smaller like shrubs. Tough and generally drought tolerant, they can really add a different texture and feel to a garden. Often used by garden designers to bring colour to a planting in autumn and winter – when other plants have a rest. Not only do some flower in winter, but their foliage colour is magnificent with the cold. The defined leaf structure of succulents can be used as a feature amongst grasses.
Minimal water and maintenance, plenty of sun and generally good drainage, these are very simple plants to grow. Neglect works for succulents.
At BAAG we stock a selection of succulents that varies a little with the seasons.
