Creating an arrangement with cold hardy succulents is simple to do! Plus, be sure to get the tip I share at the end to help ensure your arrangement looks professional.

Whether you live in an area with snow and ice during the winter, or somewhere more temperate, these cold hardy succulents are a great option to add texture and variety to your succulent garden.

I created this arrangement with succulents from Mountain Crest Gardens. I ended up using about 15-20 succulents in the arrangement. This cold hardy sample tray would be a perfect way to put together a cohesive arrangement but with a variety of textures and colors.
