Huge Firesticks Cactus Mass Planting in Raised Beds - Long Beach California - October 2023
Earlier this Summer, I posted a photo (with pride, mind you) of our container-planted Firesticks succulent plant that we've had for five years and talked about how it does well outdoors during the warmer months her in Zone 5b. Well...a trip to Long Beach California quickly put me in my place with this massive, planted-in-mass Firesticks Cactus display outside of the Hilton Hotel near downtown. It is flanking their circular driveway and spread across to raised beds. Photos below: What's not to like about that? Ombre-coloring from dark green at the bottom that transitions to yellow in the middle and orange at the tips. Beautiful and a nice piece of [ garden inspiration ] to file away.
