Garden Pic Wednesday: Succulent Tea Cup!
I have all these teacup planters all sorts of places with various succulents in them. This particular cup was empty before I moved it to this spot pictured and where it was, wasn't working. One thing about teacup planters outside is they need to be put on a slight slant, because though they drain, they drain so slowly they overflow in rain if they're set flat. So I moved this teacup to this spot between red blocks out front in my new landscape project area, on a slant, filled with Chicks and Chinese Stonecrop and a few red lava rocks in and around the cup. The next picture below shows a larger perspective of where it is. (red arrow) This bit of landscape is planted with ground covers plus shamrock, daffodil and grape hyacinth bulbs and a couple other things. I intend it to be a no-mow area. The grass never liked it there anyway.
