Product Description
With their colorful leaves, sculptural shapes, and simple care, succulents are beautiful yet forgiving plants for pots. If grown in containers, these dry-climate jewels-which include but are not limited to cacti-can be brought indoors in winter and so can thrive anywhere in the world.
In this inspiring compendium, the popular author of Designing with Succulents provides everything beginners and experienced gardeners need to know to create stunning container displays of exceptionally waterwise plants. The extensive palette includes delicate sedums, frilly echeverias, cascading senecios, edgy agaves, and fat-trunked beaucarneas, to name just a few. Easy-to-follow, expert tips explain soil mixes, overwintering, propagation, and more.
Define your individual style as you effectively combine patterns, colors, textures, and forms. Discover how top designers interpret the dramatic options, in ideas ranging from exquisite plant-and-pot combinations to extraordinary topiaries and bonsai. Expand your repertoire with plump-leaved plants that resemble pebbles, stars, and undersea creatures. Short on space? Create vertical gardens and hanging baskets, and use daisylike rosettes in wall displays.
Each of the more than 300 photographs offers an inspiring idea. A-to-Z descriptions cover 350 of the best succulents, plus companion plants. Whether your goal is a gorgeous potted garden for a sunny windowsill or outdoor living area-or simply making great gifts-this is a comprehensive primer for creating vibrant, living works of art.

This book is full of wonderful photos for ideas for most any pot or place. The accompanying text does an excellent job of explaining the hows and whys. I go back to it again and again for inspiration and consider this an outstanding reference book for succulent lovers!

Cactus lady
Excellent book. Well organized, informative, well written, good photographic illustrations. Even if you're not a succulent gardener, the garden planning tips and landscape design ideas can be applied to any gardening situation. Information particularly useful for California gardeners, but applicable to all areas of the US. This is a must have for anyone interested in sprucing us their garden and creating an interesting new easy to care for look. Good price, free shipping was a good incentive to buy.
Succulents, my new obsession! June 18, 2010
Di (Philly, PA)
I love this book!I never knew succulents and cacti could be so interesting. With my busy life these plants are perfect, no muss no fuss. The book shows great ideas for decorating using unusual pots and garden designs. Baldwin discusses plant types, their characteristics and which plants work well together. I liked this book so much I also bought her first book about succulent garden designs.
