I meant to add that various other succulents also perform as
well as those I mentioned previously - Echeveria, Pachyphytum,
as well as intergeneric hybrids such as Sedeveria (Sedum x
Echeveria), Pachyveria (Pachyphytum x Echeveria).  Bulbine is
a fabulous ground cover succulent, with upright spikes of handsome
flowers throughout the spring and other times of the year.  A
there are lots of other garden worthy succulents for the right
positions, adding interesting and dramatic accents and color to
almost any planting - a much overlooked group of plants!
