What is up everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Garden Podcast. Today we are talking about a genus of plants, an entire genus is Gaptocetum.

So this is a genus of succulents that are absolutely beautiful, exceptionally common, and they

add a lot of color.

There's probably more variety in color in these than there are in most.

They're fantastic as a ground cover. They're

fantastic as hanging baskets. They're fantastic in normal pots. So there's a lot of

different ways you can use them as well as in a Xereroscape or low water garden they can be

exceptionally useful now these are a higher zone plant zones 9 to 11 however if

you want to grow them in lower zones what you can do then is plant them in a

container that can then just be brought indoors so we're kind of getting towards

that time of year where if you are in a lower zone you would want to start

thinking about bringing those frost or cold sensitive plants indoors.

Grapocetum would definitely be a genus that you should consider.

And actually it's a hybrid of two genera.

It's a graptopendalum and sedum.

So you might see it written as X grapt Cetum. So you might see it written as X-Grapto-Cetum, but the care is kind of universal

even though there are many different varieties. So I'm going to fire off a couple.

If you're a succulent lover, you couple of a couple of these.

You've got Vera Higgins, you've got bronze, ghosty.

One of my favorites that I like to see in my landscape is California Sunset.

Of course, I am a California and it makes a lot of sense

that I would like that one. You have Francesco Baldi and then Darley sunshine.
