Blue Rose Echevaria
It's no wonder succulents have been so loved over the past few years. Their spike in popularity has run parallel with the need for drought tolerant plants in the landscape. Though, they're not only admired in the southwest. People from all over are adding the unique and versatile succulent to everything from in-ground landscaping, to container gardens and even growing indoors as houseplants.

The color palette runs from vibrant rich tones to very pale or dusty to black. This assortment of colors lends to endless possibilities for layering and mixing to create compliments or contrast when planting.
It's fun to place pale grey sedum against a bold red jade and see how the two allow each plant to shine even brighter.

Combine all the aesthetic attributes with the fact that these well rounded beauties can take heat, sun, drought and some cold, and you have yourself a recipe for one of the most effortless and striking plants you can grow.
Make sure that wherever you plant your succulents, you use a well draining soil. If there's one thing they hate, it's soggy soil. Also, don't water too much. Remember that these are drought tolerant specimens and will suffer with excessive watering.
