Contrast Colorful Succulents with Colorful Pots

An important, easy secret for effective plant-pot pairings is to contrast colorful succulents with contrasting, colorful pots. Like glazed pots, succulents come in all colors, including blue. There also are white, silver and pastel succulents, and a red so dark it looks black (Aeonium 'Zwartkop').

Find the names of succulents shown in the video and the designers who did the pairings in the captions below. Check back---I'll add more as I run across them. Enjoy!

    Hi Debra,
    I have your books, but can find nothing about when and how to cut the 10′ bloom spike on my Dasylirion longissimum. I did find information on the Agave franzosinii, but my spike is strong and I will need to use a saw to trim it down.
