What to Do
With Them
Use clusters of various Sedum
as groundcover.
Plant Echeveria, Dudleya or
Sedum one or two at a time, or
in clusters, along the front edge
of planters.
Use taller succulents such
as Agave, Yucca Whipplei or
Prickly Pear as accent plants.
Place succulents within 30 feet
of your home to comply with
defensible space regulations –
they're fire resistant.
Arrange varieties of Sedum in
a container.
