This colorful arrangement illustrates how the technique of “mounding” creates a dramatic, lush-looking succulent container garden. It includes a low-water companion plant for succulents—Cordyline australis ‘Torbay Dazzler’.

The container garden looks so BEAUTIFUL 🙂 thanks a million for sharing Debra and sending you lots of love and happy growing from Ireland for a wonderful; weekend ahead XXXX<3
boa tarde….lindo amei….amazing
I'm coveting that arrangement. Love all the colors and texture.
Cordyline is not a succulent, its a tree.
So beautiful…I love that pot, too! I'm so jealous that you live somewhere where you can go to a store and pick up any variety of succulent you want in the quantity you want. Usually if you find one aeonium here in the Midwest, you're doing good!
Do you have a favorite solar powered fountain? and a source?
Thank you, as always!
It's beautiful 🙂 but I'm not sure why you chose a tree for the center plant. Is this supposed to be a short-term container planting? Is there a regular "plant" we can use in its place to make the arrangement last longer without needing to repot the big guy? Thanks for all your videos. 🙂

Great presentation 🐼
I feel like such an accomplished student with what I have learned from you Debra and Laura Eubanks. I have potted a very similar pot before seeing this video and I had a very proud moment. I planted this beautiful cherry cordyline and surrounded it with some plants that in that same Greyish blue-green, purply hue and it is just spectacular.
