Succulent gardening is one of the easiest ways to turn your backyard or patio area into an colorful oasis. Succulents are extremely hardy and easy to care for – it’s actually substantially difficult to kill them. That makes them a top choice right there. But they also happen to be one of the hot new darlings of garden design. They come in such wonderful hues and textures and are no fuss, no bother plants. What’s not to like? We present 35 creative ideas.






Succulent gardening lends itself very well to container gardening. If you plant them directly in the ground in northern climates, consider them annuals. Extremely tolerant of drought, they don’t need much water with the exception of growing season.
