Certain succulents not only thrive in shady spots, they prefer them. Find out which to plant in areas of your dry garden that lack direct, hot sun. I begin by helping you define the kinds of shade in your garden, then I'll show you succulents good for those areas. Many, notably haworthias, gasterias, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and sansevierias also grow indoors! #shadesucculents #succulentgardening #aeoniums #stripedsucculents
