With the dry weather, succulents are ‘today’s’ plant. Their fleshy leaves and lovely varied colours will enhance any table setting.

The rosettes of Aeoniums are coloured a deep purple. Echeverias are small rosettes of grey ‘leaves’ sometimes with a dusty pink tinge in the cooler weather. Some are shaped like jelly beans and are bright green with orange/red tinges. Unusual colours are available, from lime green, to yellow, pink and red and bronze, as well as striped, crinkled or the tiniest, most delicate of leaves and rosettes.
