Ages & Stages. Ages & Stages. Pregnancy is a time of anticipation, excitement, preparation, and, for many new parents, uncertainty. The nine months of pregnancy will give you time to have your questions answered, calm your fears, and prepare yourself for the realities of parenthood.
The crown jewels of the rosette-forming succulents, easy-care Echeveria come in a rainbow of colors and can be easily found at nurseries. Some of our top picks include rose-colored âAfterglowâ, frilly-edged âBlue Curlsâ, deep purple âBlack Princeâ, and pearly lavender âPerle von Nurnbergâ. All Echeveria perform splendidly in containers and grow well in garden beds in mild-summer areas.
The plants we refer to as succulents include sempervivums, sedums, aloes, kalanchoes, echeverias and other fleshy-leaved species. These plants have evolved in some of the toughest growing conditions on earth, and are actually at their best when grown in hot sun and poor soil. Succulents lend themselves to all sorts of garden uses: in stone walls, between patio pavers, in rock gardens, and even for creating green roofs.
