Container gardening inspiration

Sunset has a number of cute container gardening ideas on their website this month. The first one caught my eye as a little similar to a container I put together. The first one uses both electric pink festival grass (cordyline) and pink huechera, (though personally, I wouldn’t have doubled up on so much pink), and a plant that looks a little like a sunburst aeonium, but I’m not sure. Any readers able to identify it? It’s cute and could make a nice companion to my pink festival grass and thyme leaf fuchsia (which has adorable, tiny, dainty flowers – and it hasn’t stopped blooming!).

    I’ve done something similar with cactus and succulents. I love using these plants in my California garden because they’re so easy to propagate and take little water. thanks for the post.
