Cheer up a bare wall by planting succulents and sedums in the gaps. Plants that thrive in hot, dry conditions will thrive in crevices between bricks. Houseleeks, rock cress, sempervivums and ferns will all cope in these conditions. Push the roots of your plug plants or seedlings into the walls and fill in around them with soil. Water every so often until the plants begin to put on new growth. | Cheer up a bare wall by planting succulents and sedums in the gaps.
