Hello, I would like to make a mixed succulent arrangement for the summer outdoors,could anybody advise on what succulents would be suitable here in the south of UK. Many thanks.
Stone crop (sedum) varieties might be an option and seem to grow well in my own garden even when left out overwinter. Here is a video clip of a purple leaved variety with a pink flowering one also shown.
We have lots of wonderful sedums, which are totally hardy here in the South East. The following are all dwarf varieties, suitable for an alpine/gravel garden, or for ground cover or growing in pots.
What will the display be planted in and what will happen to the plants over the winter? There's a lot of nice succulents that will live outdoors all year round but if you can put them in the greenhouse in the winter that will increase what you can grow. If they are coming in the house though that's a different set of plants again.

Hello. Thanks for your reply, my succulent display will be in a container and in winter I have a heated greenhouse to overwinter them.

I can also recommend Echevarium and Aeonium's, which do well outdoors in the Summer, but you would need to put them somewhere protected over winter.
