Surprises Amongst Gravel

By Kim Charles

Tim Vojt from Columbus , Ohio has placed many unique succulent suprises amongst the stones , in his singular gravel garden .

" I ’ve finally retard down enough to download some photos of my gravel garden . This spring , despite the ups and downs of bizarre atmospheric condition , has ushered in a plenty of color and texture in my gravel garden , which I started in 2008 . My latest endeavors have been removing some aggressive beasts , like woolly-haired thyme , exposing more crushed rock and of line making room for new plants . A favorite raw plus this spring is Dudleya cymosa ' Orange Form ' . Allegedly sturdy to at least zone 6 , I ’ll be crushed if it does n’t make it through the wintertime . I have two Hesperaloes with bloom spikes . The straight coinage plant has been in the ground for four years and is making its first flower . ' Brakelights ' ( Perpa ) was in efflorescence when I bought it last class , but sort of fetid . This year the peak spike are living up to their name even before they bloom , have me to slam on the brakes everything I go out to the gravel garden . "
