succulents in winter on the west Wales coast.

I love them all Sandra great idea with where to positioning them love the Henry tub and fantastic red Idian pot .

Thanks for all the tips Sandra. I hope I'm half as successful as you. I just hope now we have a mild winter.

thanks...fingers crossed its another mild one..

They look lovely Sandra, but we are expecting a really cold winter here in Scotland, it is also very wet, not good for succulents.

Hopefully it won't be too cold for you Linda

Some great tips,Sandra..I don't have any succulents,but most helpful to those who do..You have a wonderful selection :o)

I have some perennial types one has a variegated leaf and yellow blossoms the other has a silver green leaf and pink blossoms...usually in June, July and August. We've has cold spots but no blanket frost yet.. Can't believe it's October and it's still mild. The first four years in this garden we've had killing frost in the first week of Sept! There are a few oddities...my new delphinium has flowered twice..and it's in the mid of a third flush of bloom...same with the hollyhocks, verbena and digitalis. the sedum is still going strong in Oct. I have two small agave and a clump of offshoots from a larger one that the deer pruned last winter, just getting going again... I hope they are all strong enough to get thro the winter because I absolutely love the blossom spikes they send up. My sweet peas are into another flush of bloom...but they've been very slow and sparse all summer long... Moved a rosebush to a new bed, as it was almost dead where it was, and I thought it was done... I've had two blossoms over the last two weeks... strange things are happening everywhere in the garden. I must look for the names of the sedum that I received from my cousin's garden... I'm appreciating that lovely plant more each year... more succulents!... My big euphorbia cactus has leaves and has grown another 8" since I put it out on the deck in June. Wish we had Winters like yours. great tips on the passive solar heat storage of a south facing wall..

Thanks for the great tips, I've only a few myself but am glad to know how best to keep them over winter.

glad your summer was good Lori...where do you keep your agave in winter? Its pouring with rain here today..but i don't mind..i have tp do house work now and then..lol

glad you found it useful Green finger.

Good idea, Sandra, to turn the pot on the side to stop them becoming waterlogged.

worked well last winter Paul...so there will be more laid down this year.

I do like to have a peep around your garden Sandra, all your succulents do very well both inside and out, I only lost one last winter thanks to you and all the tips you have given over the years, its all your fault I have so many, you got me well and truly hooked, I really didn't mind though as it gives me something to care for during the winter and was ecstatic when some of them produced their pretty little flowers...

so glad you have found some helpful ideas on my ramblings and pics Lincs...thats what I love about having cyber gardening friends I learn soo much and I blame Noseypotter for a lot of it... hope the sunshine is helping your health..x
