Caring for succulents

Perfect plants for a hot, dry year

By Margaret Roach

New York Times

The photo in a recent newsletter from Katherine Tracey, a garden designer in Massachusetts, filled me with longing and not a small amount of regret. Why didn’t I think to fill my pots with succulents as she did — plants like Echeveria, Senecio, Sempervivum and even certain Sedum that deliver a long show with relatively little care?

THE REPUBLICAN | MASSLIVE.COM

And especially — ah, hindsight — why didn’t I do that in what turned out to be a hot, dry year, when petunias and Calibrachoa and other conventional annuals often begged for water more than once a day?

There would have been a bonus round, or several: Although many of the showiest succulents aren’t hardy in the Northeast, I could have brought some indoors to a sunny window in October.

And even if they had stretched and sulked there, I would still have had plenty of cuttings to harvest to start again next spring — or to upcycle into centerpieces, or repurpose as the starts of new potted plants.

Or I could have chosen to forgo the overwintering entirely and, come October, celebrated Halloween in style — succulent style.

At Avant Gardens in Dartmouth, the destination retail nursery and landscaping business that Tracey and her husband, Chris Tracey, opened more than 30 years ago, succulents are a specialty — a group of signature plants that reflect the couple’s passion for what she describes as “uncommon plants that look good over a long period of time,” without high maintenance.

Katherine Tracey defines succulents as “any plants

whose leaves, stems or roots can hold water for extended periods of time,” which means they usually have fleshy leaves. After collecting for about 25 years, she has amassed more than 400 kinds. Many are outdoor-hardy only in warmer zones like California, so she has had to use trial and error to make them happy year-round in New England.

For those getting started, she offered some advice gleaned from her experiments.

Go easy on succulents Just don’t torture them with regular potting soil.

“I’ve tried growing succulents, but I killed them.”

That’s a common refrain in Tracey’s nursery, where in a typical year she teaches workshops on creating succulent wreaths in June and pumpkin SEE SUCCULENTS, PAGE F3

gets too exuberant, you can trim or lift a succulent and move it to where something didn’t work, where there’s a hole.”

A starter collection The world of succulents is a wide one, with a taxonomy that’s a bit Wild West, except among botanical gardens and serious specialty nurseries and collectors.

When it comes to the non-hardy succulents that are trending in the latest houseplant boom, Tracey said, “many are mislabeled, and even more don’t have any common names, so ‘assorted succulents’ may be all you see on the tag.”

Even which genus a plant belongs to may be confused,

she added, “because breeders are crossing them.” (One example: Sedum plus Echeveria yielded Sedeveria.)

A good place to start your collection, she suggested, is with a compact jade plant, or Crassula, like Crosby’s Dwarf, or Portulacaria (often called mini-jade).

You might also consider string of pearls, or the bolder string of dolphins (Senecio peregrinus), which spill gracefully over container rims.

For rosette shapes: Try tender Echeveria (sometimes called Mexican hens and chicks) or hardy Sempervivum (hens and chicks), although Sempervivum’s color can dull in summer heat.

Varieties with cobweb-like white threads, including Forest Frost, remain visually appealing throughout the season.

For bigger container designs, Tracey craves a vertical element that most succulents don’t provide. That explains her affection for exceptions like Euphorbia tirucalli Sticks on Fire or the upright Senecio cylindricus, as well as non-succulent partners like Phormium that can handle lean, drier conditions.

OME ON OVER TO John’s garden, one of the best around. John Bartram’s, that is. In case you don’t know him — rather, of him — he was America’s first botanist. Carl Linnaeus, who in the 18th century devised our whole system for classifying plants, called Bartram “the greatest natural botanist in the world.”

John’s garden is a convenient stop during any visit to Philadelphia. You’re going to visit the Liberty Bell, aren’t you? The Bartram garden is only minutes away, just south of Center City.

When John bought this tract along the Schuylkill River in 1728, it was rural land skirting the Colonial city. His botanizing took him throughout what is now eastern U.S., and his garden was where he grew the many plants and seeds he collected in his travels.

His son, William, was a worthy and knowledgeable companion for these travels.

The notes and sketches William made during a four-year, solitary journey throughout the South, beginning in 1773, were eventually published as “TRAVELS,” a book that went on to be published in several foreign editions.

Among the most exciting discoveries, in 1765, of John and William was that of the beautiful Franklinia tree, which they found growing along the

Egg chairs offer cozy place for sitting

A

T LEAST FIVE FAmous midcentury modern designers made chairs that looked like large hard-boiled eggs with a cutout for seating space: Arne Jacobsen (19021971), Milo Baughman (19232003), Peter Ghyczy (1940-) and Charles Eames (19071978) are four of them. But the fifth and most famous was the Ovalia egg chair made in 1968

by Danish designer Henrik Thor-Larsen (1932-).

The chair was made with a round aluminum base and velvet upholstery on a white fiberglass frame. It was made to swivel. Some of the chairs were made with stereo speakers built into the backs. Hundreds of other chairs seemed inspired by Ovalia. There are womb chairs, rocking egg

chairs, fried egg chairs, wicker egg chairs, swing egg chairs and more, all with the rounded egg shape. There are also hundreds of copies selling at low prices. The original egg chair, sold by New Orleans Action Galleries, brought a bid of $1,000, the estimated price, in a recent auction.

Sad irons are flat irons made of solid iron. Some think they were called sad irons because they were heavy, and the iron handle got hot.

WASHINGTON

Mortgage rates hold steady at 2.93%

By Kathy Orton

Washington Post

Mortgage rates paused ahead of Labor Day weekend.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average ticked up to 2.93% with an average 0.8 point.

(Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.91% a week ago and 3.49% a year ago.

Q. I’d like an estimate

of the value of my Buddy L toys. They are in mint condition.

A. Buddy L toys were made

by Moline Pressed Steel Co. in Moline, Illinois, beginning in 1921.

The Buddy L toys included toy trucks, fire engines, buses, construction toys and other toys.

Toys were made of heavy steel until the early 1930s, when lighter steel was used.

Ownership of the Buddy L brand changed several times.

The last owners declared bankruptcy in 2019. Reproduction Buddy L toys have been made.

Many original Buddy L toys sell for a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

Your toys in “mint” condition would sell well at a toy auction. Our book, Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2020, shows a Buddy L firetruck with an aerial ladder for $360, a Ford delivery truck for $509 and a tanker truck with two milk cans for $666.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates.

It uses rates for high-quality borrowers who tend to have excellent credit scores and at least 20 percent for a down payment.

These rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate

average slipped to 2.42% with an average 0.8 point. It was 2.46% a week ago and 3 percent a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average edged up to 2.93% with an average 0.2 point. It was 2.91% a week ago and 3.3% a year ago.

“For real estate markets, low mortgage rates remain a potent fuel, driving demand and keeping purchasing activity rolling,” said George Ratiu, a senior economist at Realtor.com.
