Seasonal List of Plants to Grow
Outdoor Succulents
1. Agave
A member of the Asparagaceae family, the Agave genus, or “century plant,” has 300 species available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes. These plants form rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves and spiny edges. They prefer Mediterranean climates, but they are cold-hardy, surviving in Zones 5 to 9.
2. Delosperma
If you’re in the market for a cold-hardy, evergreen groundcover, several species in the Delosperma genus are cold-hardy down to Zones 4 to 6. Delosperma produce purple and yellow daisy-like flowers in summer, respectively, and are popular in rock gardens and xeriscaped spaces. They are also a high-value plant for wildlife and pollinators. Even though some Delosperma species will tolerate low temps, they need dry, well-drained soils to survive outdoors year-round.
3. Orostachys
Orostachys plants are native to the mountains of Japan. The name Orostachys means “mountain” (oros), referring to its native environment, and “spike” (stachys), referring to its cone-shaped flower stalks. Orostachys will generally put out many offsets and then flower and die, so you’ll need to replace them with their chicks periodically.
