SUCCULENTS have become incredibly popular in recent years, for their striking looks and their unflappable nature in dry conditions.

These two books by Australian authors Rudolf Schulz and Attila Kapitany - both specialist succulent growers - cover the common favourites as well as lots of more unusual species.

Succulents is a good all-round guide, whereas More Succulents will satisfy even experienced gardeners.

Full growing information is included, with helpful ideas for landscaping in difficult situations, such as around swimming pools, on slopes and under trees.
