The following succulents are all intended for outdoor cultivation, and have been selected for their ability to withstand our cooler winters. All grow best in full sun, on well drained soil, but can also perform well in containers and will withstand shallow poor soils. Some varieties perform well as green roof ground cover, but vigour will be dependant on soil preparation and aspect.
