I debated doing this for a while...who would have
thought Graptopetalum Paraguayense would(with protection(-;)become invasive in Iowa.

I thought it looked good before, even better now.

It looks better now!

Much cleaner after..

Love that Trichocereus!

Looked nice before as well as after. I planted some Graptopetalum Paraguayense last year it struggled at first then towards the end of summer it started to look better. I covered them up in my cacti bed with a cold frame so far has got down to 6 degrees and they are still alive.

Gravel really makes desert beds look good, but its color still went well with your varieties.

It's not invasive until it comes up in your neighbor's yard.
