CITY OF CEDARVILLE: Plant of the Month: Succulents Can Add a Little Drama to Your Yard
0Comments

City of Cedarville issued the following announcement on Dec. 19.

Succulents can steal the show in a drought-tolerant landscape. Their structural and exotic shapes add whimsy and originality to a desert yard.

With a little knowledge, succulents are as easy to maintain as any other drought-tolerant plant. Here’s the secret: Succulents encompass a wide variety of plants. While there are general succulent-care guidelines, it is important to understand how each one is different and what it needs to thrive.

For example, many types of aloe will tolerate the sun but their leaves will stand up to protect their cores and often turn a purple-brown. When planted in partial shade, these same plants relax, open up and stretch out their bright green leaves to look prettier.
