This is my first year to attempt succulents. I don't know much about them, but so far they have done well. There is a chance that some of the plants aren't as winter hardy, as I had hoped they were. But I'll see what happens next spring.
The planter is an old water heater tank, I think. It came with the farmhouse when we bought it.
The tank is shallow and dries out fast. Over the years, I've tried growing different plants in it, but all have required daily watering. This season's choice has been much easier to take care of. It hasn't taken any care at all, actually.
I've added some fairy garden elements, and some tumbled glass as mulch.
There are lots of odds and ends tucked in among the plants. Here is some more glass, these are hand blown orbs that a friend made.
There are a few more fairies, some stone eggs, cool rocks, and sea shells too.
Since rosemary doesn't need much water, I included some of that, because, can you ever have enough rosemary??? We can't. I've been hooked on that for the last few years and add it to a lot of dishes.
My favorite part is the heart blooms on this little guy. Oh my! I didn't expect that!
Good idea, I’m going to have to give this a try!!
Heart blooms within a heart shaped wreath.Nice.
I was so pleased when they surprised me with this bloom!
It is an experiment for me too, Marilyn. I think I’d like to plant some indoors too.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find these heart shaped blooms on many different types of succulents in my garden this summer!! Just another reason to love this new easy care plant!!!
Cold weather didn’t bother them in my Jax, Fl garden all winter.
I don’t think I’ll be that lucky with Kansas weather, Holly! I’m glad to hear other varieties bloom in hearts too.

Very nice! Can you move them into your breezeway before it freezes? They’d probably do fine there in the winter.
