{"title":"Succulents","description":"\u003cp\u003eSucculents ask for less water and less attention than most of what we grow. They suit hot dry beds, gravel rockeries, pots on a paved courtyard, exposed coastal gardens, and green roof or verge plantings on shallow soil. If a strip keeps drying out, or you want a container that survives a fortnight without attention, start here. There are 70mm and 130mm starters for mass planting, a broad middle in 140mm to 200mm pots, and 400mm, 500mm and 100L sizes for an established plant on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection splits into two jobs.

The agaves and Portulacaria handle salt wind; Echeveria and Aeonium do better with a wall or a hedge between them and it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrainage decides the outcome. Plant into gritty free-draining soil, mound or raise the bed if the ground is heavy clay, and use a cactus and succulent mix rather than a moisture-holding potting mix in pots. Water deeply, but only once the mix has dried through. Full sun suits the agaves and aloes, while Echeveria and Aeonium hold better colour with morning sun and afternoon shade. Aeonium runs on the opposite clock, growing through the cool months and resting in summer heat, so water it in winter and ease off in January. Frost is where the assumptions go wrong. Agave attenuata is frost tender and marks at a light frost, and Aeonium, Echeveria, Portulacaria and young Aloe barberae are all damaged well before the tougher agaves are, so in frost-prone districts keep them under eaves, against a warm wall, or in pots you can shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich, moisture-retentive soil combined with regular watering does more damage here than cold does. Compost-heavy beds, mulch piled against the stem and an irrigation line running all summer rot the crown and lower leaves within a season, and in humid summer rainfall districts on the Queensland and northern New South Wales coast the wet season alone can do it. Site them where water leaves fast, keep mulch coarse and pulled back from the base, and leave the irrigation off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more plants that hold up on little water, see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/low-maintenance\"\u003elow maintenance plants\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/african-daisy\"\u003eAfrican daisy\u003c\/a\u003e for colour in the same beds. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lomandra-and-grasses\"\u003eLomandra and grasses\u003c\/a\u003e soften the ground around agaves and aloes, and the full range is at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-all-plants\"\u003eshop all plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery order ships farm-direct with flat $99 delivery across QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, ACT and WA, a $399 minimum order, and the 30-Day Healthy Plant Guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"pd-range-index\"\u003eNot sure where to start?

Cold rarely kills an agave in Australian gardens; standing water and cold soil do, and a plant sitting in a saucer or in a bed that stays damp from May to August rots at the base and collapses in the spring, often with no warning above ground.
