    Hello everyone

    I've passed by this wonderful coastal border in Falmouth many times, and I always admire it. I love these kind of plants and would love to create something similar in my own garden.

    I wondered if anyone could help inform me of some the plants in these beds. I particularly love the cluster of bright green rosette-looking succulent, it's so pretty.

    Many thanks

    They are Aeoniums

    Not 100% hardy (in most UK gardens)

      Ah thank you. :)

      That's good to know about the hardiness, I suspected that might be the case.

      We have lots of "Sedum Spectabile" in our garden. Completely hardy perennial and easy to care for since it doesn't require much water.

      As a bonus, bees like it whereas slugs ignore it.

      You can easily multiply them by breaking off a branch and putting it into water or soil. Not much else to do except wait after that.

      Oh and they bloom pretty late. Sometimes they wait until September until they open.

      Where abouts are you Darren?
      Semperviviums are a good hardy clump forming plant, and a couple of the Aloes are also pretty hardy.
      Yopu could try Aloe stiata , or Aloe aristata.
