This trio...what a combination. Sedum Angelina to the far left...in the center, the Blue Chalk and to the right, the Dorotheanthus Mezzo.
I was determined to plant a succulent container this season but I was on the hunt for something different to plant...something that would cause other garden lovers to stop and say, wow.
If you can imagine, the trio were just tiny plants when I discovered them at my favorite garden center. And now, as the summer days are fleeting by, the Blue Chalk is looking a little more shrub-like and the Mezzo is trailing as it should with tiny buton size red flowers tucked neatly with the white edged succulent leaves.
All of the plants require a certain amount of sun light and can actually be planted in direct sun. Mine are in a part sun location. The Sedum Angelina, will eventually provide a wonderful contrast colour of yellow, star shaped blooms and the lime green spikey leaves make another great contrast to the deep green leaves of the Blue Chalk.
Maybe next year I'll consider a larger container...I think that this one is going to be an issue pretty soon.
