I love the beach…walking in the sand and letting the tide run up over my feet getting my jeans wet is heaven. Well…this Spring I found myself pulling on socks and practically […] - [Seasons](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/seasons/): A few months ago in the early spring, I noticed a chorus of chirps and peeps out the north side of our home. That’s where we have a shaded patio the length of the house. When I looked out the windows that travel from one end to the other, room to room the delightful activities of the birds announced spring with the gathering and building of nests along the beams. At first, I felt such joy! We watched and delighted in these sounds of life. Soon, I found myself going out to sweep the clutter off the porch…not once, but […] - [Designing from the Heart](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/designing-from-the-heart/): When we begin to develop an idea for our landscape, we envision the look or presence we’d like to capture and the plant pallet we’d like to use. It could be Succulents, Shrubs and Perennials, or perhaps Tropicals. Think about what makes you happy. Is it the drama of a desert?… flowers and frills? …maybe the peace of a forest or a tropical Isle? I like to browse garden magazines. They are a wonderful resource of ideas. I love to pick them up at the store and rip out ideas of landscapes that appeal to me and stick them into […] - [Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Lights](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/twinkle-twinkle-little-lights/): A string of lights can make my world twinkle with happiness. It’s such a simple thing, yet transforms our spirit. God must have had such fun creating stars in the night sky and now with a simple string of lights we can feel such delight. It’s something like lighting the candles on a cake, it puts a smile on our faces and turns a cake into a celebration. Adding Christmas lights to windows and eves brightens up our homes with joy. We can find all kinds of patio lights that with the flip of a switch turn our dark night […] - [Goin’ Wild with Bromeliads](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/goin-wild-with-bromeliads/): Bromeliads have an allure about them that peaks the senses. It creates a curiosity about what they are, an excitement about their colors and patterns, where they come from and an urgency to have one or two, or a dozen. They create the same kind of fascination that creeps up on me when I visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and wander from window to window peering into the undersea world of amazing fish and sea life… or visit a jewelry/gem store and look at all the beautiful precious stones in all their brilliant array of colors. Their origination is quite […] - [Wildflowers](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/wildflowers/): Wildflowers are playful, beautiful and graceful…like ballerinas. I was wandering through the garden section at the hardware store last year looking for some new tools for my garden. I rounded the corner and discovered cans and bags of Wildflower seeds. The pictures  on the front were so pretty…and an idea sprung to mind. We have had a patch of ground that we’ve never done anything with…it was just dirt and two round green covers for the guy I call every couple of years or so to pump the septic system. I’ve never lived with a septic system before we moved here. […] - [There’s Always Room for Berries](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/theres-always-room-for-berries/): As spring begins its transition from winter, our blackberry vines first produce clusters of white blossoms to create the anticipation of berry-picking. Visions of fresh blackberries sprinkled on vanilla ice cream is a yummy thought, so is fresh berry pie, or pancakes topped with berries and whipped cream, but my favorite way to enjoy our blackberries to eat them fresh picked from the vine warmed by the sun.  Plus, they are good for you, so indulging in robbing the vines are a double treat.  Here is a little something I found in Google: “Blackberries contain a wide array of important […] - [The Aromatic Garden](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/the-aromatic-garden/): Have you ever taken a walk through the forest taking in the sights, when you realize that the scents are as powerful an impact at the visual?  As you hike the trails or walk the path, the piney scent that is crushed underfoot or the cedar you brushed against in a narrowing of the trail infuses the senses and makes a memory.  The brushy sages that keep their perfume a secret until you pinch a leaf or break a branch in passing only adds to the discovery of your visual journey.    Trees, shrubs, grasses, herbs, flowers all speak to […] - [The Succulent Sea Garden](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/the-succulent-sea-garden/): Living in San Diego brings trips to the beach, boogie boarding, surfing, building sand castles and long walks on the beach. Whether you are young or old we are drawn to the sound of surf and sea gulls. The salty sea air is the first hint we are getting close to the shore. Some years ago,  my husband, Tom & I went to the Del Mar Fair and Jeff Moore had created an amazing undersea design with succulents, and cacti that left me spellbound. I wasn’t a fan of succulents (especially cacti) at the time. No attraction what so ever! […] - [Don’t Worry…."Bee" Happy](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/dont-worry-bee-happy/): After what seems like months…the sun came out the other day and I found an energy emerging that had been buried in the gloom. I wandered into the yard and felt the warmth and beautiful glow of my old friend, Mr. Sun . I saw a couple of butterflies lighting on flowers in my wildflower garden and on a rose under the bedroom window…then as I watch them, a bird flew into the yard and landed on a bush, then moved to the tree and back down to some low growing geraniums. As I stood there absorbing the feel of […] - [Fall…An Abundant, “Fun”tastic Season](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/fallan-abundant-funtastic-season/): From beginning to end, fall is a cornucopia full of fun. Here in southern California the change in leaf color is barely noticeable, but you can find it in a few variety of trees. Living near Fallbrook, I love the way the gold shines out on our little, windy roads that lead into town. Even the local vineyards turn to gold. Pumpkins begin to show up in front of grocery stores and Lavender Hill Pumpkin Farm opens with its amazing varieties in all shapes, sizes, and colors spreading throughout in their growing ground. Mike is the seed collector and business man, while […] - [Dirty Garden Gloves](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/dirty-garden-gloves/): When I see dirty garden gloves, it only means one thing! Somebody’s happy! Somebody’s been diggin’ in the dirt…planting, weeding, cultivating soil, and pruning. For me, those days help me dig  down to my core as well…my cares disappear and get buried in the dust as I prune out old dead branches, and redesign my garden with a fresh new look. It may only need some replacements with just a few plants, or I may embark on a complete transformation, but it feels good and freshens up my garden giving it new energy. When this process begins, I find that […] - [More than Driftwood](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/more-than-driftwood/):   When I see a piece of driftwood, I think of the sea…but there is more to it than that. Driftwood is a survivor of the storms. It gets tossed, carved, polished and punished by harsh forces before it gets to shore. Even then it survives sun, wind, and more storms. I’ve often overlooked the journey of a piece of driftwood…only admiring the smooth, beautiful twists and turns…colors and shapes of the end result. We are not that different from the driftwood, are we? We have trials, and storms to weather…we have certain characteristics handed down through generations…we have strengths, and […] - [Graceful Perennials with a Side of Butterflies!](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/graceful-perennials-with-a-side-of-butterflies/): Perennials that “dance in the wind” have a wild quality that is so appealing. They express grace and softness in the landscape, becoming the “music of the garden” as they sway. I love to see a variety of color playing host to one another, creating a whimsical, inviting   appearance. Let’s take a look at a few favorites that attract Butterflies and some that attract Hummingbirds, as well… adding an extra dose of joy!  If you’d love to invite Birds, Bees & Butterflies to your gardens and landscapes, just check on-line for info on the plants you are choosing…or lists […] ## Pages -

Well, we may not have tropical jungles here, but these resilient plants find themselves right at home in our gardens in the small and narrow spots against walls and between sidewalks, and shaded corners at doors and entryways.

In fact, it’s the most “tame” member of the Agave family with soft, smooth, toothless, leaves of blue-grey. Quite versatile, it can make itself at home in a tropical, Mediterranean, or desert landscape. The “Ghost” can form large “heads” up to 3 feet across and elevating slightly on brown trunk stems to almost 4 feet tall. Branching at the base, they can form substantial clumps.

It is resistant to the snout-weevil grubs that devastate so many other Agave species. The creamy white margins on soft green centers, and lightly toothed edges, radiate out from the center to produce a very organized, architectural look. This is a really user-friendly species that remains manageable in size and application, for many years of service, in modern landscapes as well as desert garden applications.

Has no thorns, and only the smallest of little bristles. Excellent for landscape “nooks”, or pots. Great indoor subject, too, in hot sunny windows. Full sun to filtered shade outdoors. Is tender to freeze. Fertilize in spring and summer to assure deep green color and continuing flowers. Tender to frost/freeze. Likes fairly abundant water compared to other cacti. - [Stenocereus pruinosus](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/stenocereus-pruinosus/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Mexican Organ Pipe A robust and fast growing “organ-pipe” cactus, forms columns and branches up to 10’ tall. Dark green stems and very short spines on a plant that is all about specimen size, and architectural structure. Very much likes and appreciates the scalding summer heat of our lower deserts, and appreciates a good deep watering once a week during the hot season. Small whitish flowers appear off and on. Hardy to low 20’s. Full sun. Type: Cactus Exposure: Full Sun Height: 10ft Hardy To: 20° F Blooms: Small white flowers- blooms during the year - [Pilosocereus pachycladus](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pilosocereus-pachycladus/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Bright Wooly Blue Spires Pilosocereus pachycladus, commonly known as Bright Wooly Blue Spires. Semi-slender stems (to about 3 inches thick) are glow-in-the-dark light blue, probably one of the most unimaginable colors that you could expect of a plant! The stems are a nice vertical accent by shape alone, but when you kick in the color it’s like waving blue light wands in the garden! And if that weren’t enough, the almost spineless margins are almost covered with little wooly masses of downy fuzz. This has got to be one of my all time favorites of the cactus family! Growth is reasonably fast at about a foot a year. Full sun; appreciates more frequent waterings and fertilizer during the warm growing season, but is equally as happy on the coast as it is in hot, inland deserts where hard frosts are not a threat. Type: Cactus Exposure: Full Sun Hardy To: 25° F - [Pilosocereus azureus](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pilosocereus-azureus/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Wooly Blue Spires Pilosocereus azureus, commonly known as Wooly Blue Spires. Stately spires of dramatic blue reach skyward, graced with margins armed of golden spines and a soft, downy fur. The spectacular sky-blue color of this plant’s skin is surprising to say the least in a world of green expectations. For this reason, it is a great color contrast as well as vertical accent in the landscape or large container. Growth rate is quite fast for a medium bodied cactus plant, up to 1 1/2 feet per year. Can grow up to 12 feet tall and branching both from the base and mid-body. Full sun; ample watering and fertilizer during warm growing season; excellent in hot inland deserts as well. Hardy to mid 20s. Type: Cactus Exposure: Full Sun Height: 12 Feet Hardy To: 25° F - [Pereskia grandiflora](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pereskia-grandiflora/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Royal Queen Tropical Cactus Interestingly, this beautiful leafy tropical plant is a true cactus! A hint might be the long, sharp, jet-black spines hiding under the leaves. It makes a colorful exotic shrub where neither frost nor freeze is an issue, so definitely, a coastal, or potted specimen plant that can be moved in and out of doors to protect from the cold. I’ve seen mature plants become almost 16’ tall when growing in the landscape, but pruning is often effective and appreciated, keeping it a more moderate-sized, and shaped, flowering shrub. The purple flowers, which are presented almost year-round (even when the leaves have dropped off for winter) are born at the tips of the stems, and look and feel as if they’re made out of pure wax! Full sun is best for flower production, although light shade works too. Hardy to only about 30 degrees. Type: Shrub/Cactus Exposure: Full Sun/Part Shade Height: 3 Feet Width: 3 Feet Hardy To: 32° F Blooms: Purple, Year-Round - [Pedilanthus macrocarpus](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pedilanthus-macrocarpus/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Desert Pencil Bush Pedilanthus macrocarpus, commonly known as Desert Pencil Bush. A Native American member of the Euphorbia family from Baja and northern Mexico, there is no other succulent plant like this with such pretty, multiple, straight up vertical lines and it’s as impressive in containers as it is in the southwest or succulent garden. The vertical, pale lime green stems are about the diameter of a fat pencil and grow to 3ft. tall, branching freely from the base or slightly under-ground. If It’s unique and striking form were not enough, the added bonus of colorful flowers shaped like tiny little red slippers dance on the tips of the stems during summer (hence its other common name- Lady Slippers). Full sun; and really appreciates some extra water and fertilizer in the warm growing season, especially in hot, inland, desert climates.

Leaves appear with new growth, but drop off when mature or very dry, to expose elegant smooth green stems. Striking vertical accent! Water-wise, but tolerates regular garden watering as well. A member of the Euphorbia family, milky sap is irritating. Handle with care. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 8 Feet Hardy To: 28° F Blooms: Coral Red - [Pachypodium lamaerii](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pachypodium-lamaerii/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Madagascar Palm Pachypodium lamaerii, commonly known as Madagascar Palm. Young plants grow up in a straight, single trunk, crowned by a symmetrical crown of leaves on top in palm-like fashion. As it grows older, the base becomes fat and swollen, and beautiful white, fragrant flowers emerge at the crown. Growth is slow and can eventually reach heights of 10ft. Tender to frost; full sun. Appreciates ample watering with a brief dry interval between, fertilize as needed to keep its lush appearance. Type: Cactus Exposure: Full Sun Height: 10 Feet Blooms: White, Spring - [Pachycereus pringlei](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/pachycereus-pringlei/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Baja Saguaro Pachycereus pringlei, commonly known as Baja Saguaro. Baja Saguaro, if measured by weight and volume, this is certainly the largest of all of the cactus plants. It can attain heights of 60 feet and weigh thousands of pounds with its heavy branches. Of course, a person planting one now would never live long enough to see it grow anywhere near that size. The beauty of this plant for the cactus person is that it mimics the form of the Arizona Saguaro that everybody would love to have in their cactus garden. However, the latter will barely grow (if at all) in the cooler climates of the coastal plain. The Baja Saguaro will grow up to a 1.5 feet a year, even in cooler conditions.

Just like the white fur of a silver fox, this succulent glows nearly white when you first glance at it. In reality, it's more of a light green covered with a thick waxy coating to give it that glowing color. Light blue-purple spotting appears underneath the coating, but is mostly unnoticeable from a distance. In addition to its wonderful color, 'Silver Fox' has a magnificent habit, with thick, arching leaves and defined marginal teeth. Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. We are very excited (shall we say mad?) about our new hybrids from Walters Gardens hybridizing.

Patent # PP29642 - [Manfreda hybrid ‘Jaguar’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/manfreda-hybrid-jaguar/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Mangave ‘Jaguar’ Manfreda Hybrid ‘Jaguar’, commonly known as Mangave ‘Jaguar’ is a cross between a true Agave, and a more leafy plant in the lily family, Manfreda creating the dark green leaves generously patterned with inky, burgundy spots, that give this plant its “jaguar” impression. Leaves are soft, upright and slightly curving outward, in lush clumps to about 20″ high, and up to 2′ wide with NO THORNS. A few impressive and interesting slender flower stems up to 8′ high arise quickly in late summer… very interesting, but flowers themselves are non-remarkable in color. Flower stems do not destroy the base of the plant upon their decline, as in the case of pure Agave, so simply snip them off at the base when they are done. Versatile in water requirements, tolerating wet or poorly drained conditions, as well as drier applications. Hardy to low 20’s. Full sun to partial shade. Type: Agave Exposure: Full sun Height: 20" Width: 2' Hardy to: Low 20's Blooms: Late summer - [Mangave "Purple People Eater"](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/mangave-purple-people-eater/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Mangave This succulent is named after the famous novelty song, but it's not about to eat anybody! Rather, the extremely purple coloration is where it gets its name from. A neat rosette of thick, sturdy leaves that are blue-green with reddish-purple spotting. However, while walking by, the color will look purple. Bring out its best coloration in full sun; less intense exposure will produce greener leaves. Margins fold upward to show off its yellow, orange, and cinnamon brown spines. At the end of each leaf, there is a cinnamon terminal spine. Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. We are very excited (shall we say mad?) about our new hybrids from Walters Gardens hybridizing.

The spots will be more dramatic when exposed to more UV light levels from the sun. The long, flat leaves are held rigidly straight from the base, forming a low, wide, and spiky habit.

Patent #: PP29195 - [Mangave "Mission to Mars"](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/mangave-mission-to-mars/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common Name: Mangave A common nickname for Mars is the Red Planet, and this Mangave gets its moniker due to the unique, intense red coloration from the leaves. 2¾" wide, thick green leaves are heavily speckled with burgundy red, with spots that bleed into each other for an overall red appearance. The red coloration is brought out best in direct UV light and becomes subdued under heavy plastic. The long leaves form an arching habit, caused by the tips of the leaves curving downward.

In direct sunlight, smoky purple leaves are formed at the top of the rosette and have subdued burgundy purple dots. As the rosette ages, the ovate leaves lighten to green, forming a two-tone effect. Each 1½" wide leaf has a cinnamon brown terminal spine. The margins are lined with tiny white spines; running your fingers along them feels like a comb, as they are fairly benign. Its broad leaves combine well with Mangave with narrower leaves, like ‘Man of Steel’. Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave.

This has to be one of the most striking and exotic looking of all large succulent plants, giving an extremely unique twist to tropical, African, or Mediterranean looks alike! It can be grown indoors, but only with a great deal of direct sunlight from untinted windows. Outdoors is where it can fully achieve its most dramatic and bold appearance, but this needs to be done either in a large container that can be moved indoors or into a protective courtyard during the winter, or along the immediate southern California coastal plain, as it is extremely sensitive to frost. A large, fully leafed out plant is extremely valuable. Needs full sun, and does well with regular garden watering to quite dry- good drainage. Flowers are insignificant. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 5 Feet Width: 3 Feet Hardy To: 32° F - [Haworthia hybrid](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/haworthia-hybrid/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Toad’s Toes Haworthia hybrid, commonly known as Toad’s Toes… What has purplish-green skin, covered with whitish little bumps that look like warts all over? Toad’s toes! That’s why this tough, strange little plant is named that! Because that’s exactly what it looks like! Only 2 to 3 inches high, triangular shaped leaves are arranged in rosettes, forming clumps low to the ground. Grows slowly, but lives for many years, and is best used crammed into rock walls. If you are looking for that reptilian-amphibious, hand sized, animal motif that will fascinate children and adults alike, then this is a great plant. Excellent indoors on sunny windowsills, however it will loose the purplish tints. Full sun to partial shade along the Southern California coastal plain. It does not like intense heat. Sensitive to frost. Toad’s Toes are fascinating in container plantings where they are brought closer to eye level. Frequently blooms slender stems of pale green flowers with tints of white and pink, hanging like tiny little lanterns from the stems. Likes regular garden watering with dry intervals. Types: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade Height: 3 Inches Width: 6 Inches Hardy To: 50° F Blooms: Orange, Spring to Fall - [Haworthia fasciata](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/haworthia-fasciata/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Toad’s Toes Haworthia fasciata, commonly known as Toad’s Toes is too small to have impact as a landscaping plant, but this little succulent is incredibly interesting for containers and small spaces in rocks, and cracks and corners of walls. Its slender little leaves form small clumps. This little plant has bold, white, slender ridges arranged horizontally against a dark green on its leaves, resembling a zebra’s striping. It thrives indoors on sunny or bright windowsills. It is easy to grow in good drainage outdoors, but needs some shade to do its best. Suitable outdoors only for Southern California coastal plains. It is extremely tender to frost. When you’re done enjoying it for its beautifully textured and colored leaves, it surprises you by frequently sending out slender flower spikes adorned with tiny little white flowers hanging like bells from the stem. In containers and other applications, this little guy can live trouble free for many years! Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade Height: 3 Inches Width: 6 Inches Hardy To: 50° F Blooms: Orange during Spring to Fall - [Graptoveria ‘Blue Candle’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/graptoveria-blue-candle/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Blue Candle Graptoveria hybrid, commonly known as ‘Blue Candle’, is a great shade succulent that has a waxy, bluish, opalescent foliage.

Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun/Part Shade Height: 3 Inches Width: 8 Inches Hardy To: 25° F Blooms: Pink Year-Round - [Graptopetalum paraguayense](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/graptopetalum-paraguayense/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Opal Grey Graptopetalum paraguayense, common known as Opal Grey, has beautiful opalescent leaves with tones of grey, pink, and amethyst, are arranged in whorls and rosettes on stiff, creeping or hanging stems. This is a very unique pearlescent foliage color making it a great contrast among more common, tints of green. It can take full sun in cooler, coastal climates, but really appreciates some shade. Probably one of the prettiest plantings of it that I’ve seen, is where it was growing, cascading down, an old adobe wall, rooting in along its stems with its ghostly foliage spilling over the rich, earthy tones of the adobe where it happily lived under a lot of shade from shrubbery above, and the adjacent house! Likes regular garden watering, and good drainage, but will tolerate long intervals without watering if necessary. Best hanging over the edges of containers or tucked into the nooks and crannies of rock gardens and walls. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade Height: 6 Inches Width: 2-3 Feet Hardy To: 25° F - [Faucaria tigrina](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/faucaria-tigrina/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Jaws Faucaria tigrina, commonly known as Jaws, is a strange little mound of succulent plant with toothy opposing leaves that look like gaping jaws. The small, dark green, triangular leaves are packed tightly into little clumps that are never more than a couple of inches tall. The big surprise is the relatively huge dandelion-like, yellow flowers that pop out seemingly from nowhere in the spring, a single flower covering much of the plant. Use in potted succulent groupings, nooks and crannies in rock and succulent gardens, and any area where this interesting little guy can be presented close to the eye of the viewer. Tender to frost; full sun to lightly filtered shade; allow to dry briefly between watering. Slows down in the summer months, and grows most actively in the cooler seasons. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun to Light Shade Height: 3 Inches Width: 9 Inches Hardy To: 30° F Blooms: Yellow during Spring - [Euphorbia xantii](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/euphorbia-xantii/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Cherry Blossom Euphorbia Euphorbia xantii, commonly known as Cherry Blossom Euphorbia, has slender, fine textured branches and leaves. It can grow to be a quite large succulent shrub. It explodes in little pink flowers that look like miniature cherry blossoms, repeatedly from January through June. This infusion of PINK makes a powerful impression in the landscape. It is best used where it can ramble, as it spreads by stolons underground and can get quite invasive. It loves the full sun, is very water-wise, and is winter deciduous. It is hardy to 25 degrees. I can picture this plant used in waves on rolling hillsides, as a screen, or dividing line. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 6 Feet Width: 8 Feet Hardy To: 25° F Blooms: Light Pink during Spring and Fall - [Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Flame’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/euphorbia-tirucalli-flame/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Fire Sticks Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Flame’, commonly known as Fire Sticks, is an unusual color morph of the pencil plant. Amazingly the normally deep green, fleshy stems are brilliant orange/reds and pinks becoming the most intense in color in the winter months. From a distance it looks as if the bush is literally on fire with color. It is much slower growing than its green progenitor, and more tender, both to intense sun as well as frost. This beautiful plant prefers full sun coastal climates, and partial shade in inland to hot desert climates. Makes a very striking indoor plant as well, in sunny, un-tinted window areas. Very tender to frost. It appreciates increased water and fertilizer during the warm growing season. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 6 Feet Width: 2 Feet Hardy To: 32° F - [Euphorbia leucadendron](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/euphorbia-leucadendron/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Cat Tails Euphorbia Euphorbia leucadendron, commonly knowns as Cat Tails Euphorbia.

That’s what this plant is, except ON LAND! Forms a medium height exotic looking shrub to 4′ tall and wide. Very water-wise when established; tender to frost. Needs full sun. Type: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 4 Feet Width: 4 Feet Hardy To: 30° F Blooms: Yellow - [Echeveria ‘Sahara’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/echeveria-sahara/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Sahara It is every designer and passionate gardener’s dream to be able to incorporate the fancy, ruffled Echeverias (Mexican Hens and Chicks) into the landscape… and yet, they don’t hold up. They’re not durable… Until now! E. ‘Sahara’ has been trialed in full sun, and filtered shade. It has been subjected to mid-20’s for cold and summers with some daytime temperatures exceeding over 100°F.

A dramatic accent in rock gardens or pots, this is one of the few hens and chicks that we find reliable in the landscape for the long term. Interestingly enough, it looks almost identical to the white Dudleyas, which folks find almost impossible to grow or keep alive- so it’s a great sub! Coastal full sun, to part shade in hot climates. Type: Succulent Exposure: Coastal Full Sun/Inland Part Shade Height: 3 Inches Width: 10 Inches Hardy To: 28° F Blooms: Pastel Orange during Summer - [Echeveria harmsii ‘Ruby Slippers’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/echeveria-harmsii-ruby-slippers/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Ruby Slippers Echeveria harmsii, commonly known as Ruby Slippers is lush green, red tipped, fast-growing shrublike succulent.

They grow in clusters and are best tucked into rock gardens between rocks, and in nooks and crannies, where they will will clump to about a foot wide, but never taller than a few inches. Also beautiful in container gardens. Native to the Channel Islands off of the coast of California, it is appropriate that they resemble some kind of marine creature dwelling in a crystal clear tide pool. Actively growing in winter, they take a rest in the summer, when they prefer less water as well. Type: Succulent Exposure: Coastal Full Sun/Partial Shade Height: 5" Width: 10" Hardy to: 25° F - [Crassula multicava ‘Red’](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/crassula-multicava-red/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Royal Carpet Jade Luxurious, low growing succulent, with deep olive green leaves on the upper surface, and deep burgundy colored under-sides. Flat, rouind leaves making the perfect “fores floor” looking groundcover. Full sun coastal, but one of the few effective plans for growing in troublesome “dry shade” environments, under oak trees, pines and even eucalyptus.

In the past, Pittosporum, (especially Wheeler’s Dwarf) and Raphiolepsis filled this need, but they are not sufficiently drought tolerant. As they age, they get woody. In fact, rats love to gnaw on the stems and branches of some of these! Probably one of the number one, new generation shrubs for our thirsty gardens, will be ‘Ripple Jade!’ It is very drought tolerant when established, the perfect size (3’-3’ round), takes sun or part shade, develops no woody stems, is easily pruned and shaped, and rats and rabbits don’t like them. It is cold hardy down to the low 20’s, and the leaves are all twisty and cool! You just want to reach in and scruff them like on a kid’s head.

Each leaf has a nice red margin highlighting its striking grays. One of the most enduring and striking of permanent landscape succulent shrubs, giving decades of service. Likes full sun in the areas of the coast and coastal plain. Is unaffected by salt spray, so it works well right up to the coast. In the hottest inland desert areas, it needs a little shade, and is actually quite tolerant of partial, or filtered shade, everywhere. Very water-wise, but is appreciative of additional watering. Will not cause problems even if given frequent and regular garden watering. Types: Succulent Exposure: Full Sun Height: 3 Feet Width: 3 Feet - [Cotyledon tomentosa](https://www.waterwisebotanicals.com/product/cotyledon-tomentosa/): [woo_breadcrumbs] Common name: Kitten Paws Cotyledon tomentosa, commonly known as Kitten Paws, is good for when you need something snuggly in the garden, there’s nothing like soft kitten paws, fuzzy with tiny little red “toes” to cuddle up with.

It prefers filtered shade almost everywhere except near the coolness of extreme coastal areas. Fantastic in container gardens, and will even spill over the edge a little bit. Can be grown indoors on a sunny window sill as a unique houseplant. Good on regular garden watering as long as there is good drainage.

About the only maintenance that needs to be done is to weed whack back the copious amount of flower stems that are produced, so that fresh new ones can immediately emerge to continue on with the show. Despite its succulent foliage, it is distasteful to the undiscriminating palette of rabbits, so it’s great on slopes and edging up to chaparral and natural areas. It appreciates additional irrigations during cool season, as long as not in a poor drainage situation. Likes full sun, or very slight filtered shade. In hot interior deserts similar to Palm Springs, Phoenix, etc. must have filtered shade.
