This water-wise rock garden features numerous species of cacti, succulent, and xerophytes plants from all continents. Colorful and low-care, it is studded with a rich variety of striking plants, including aeoniums, aloes, dasylirions, and yuccas. Their vibrant color, dramatic architectural shapes, and lush evergreen foliage fill every available space.
All these plants look good year-round, are deer resistant, drought tolerant, and fuss-free.
This vignette is from the Exotic Garden of Eze, located on the site of a medieval fortress, perched 429 meters above the Mediterranean Sea. The panorama from the garden offers one of the most spectacular views of the French Riviera extending all the way to the Esterel Mountains and the Golf of Saint-Tropez. Eze’s Exotic Garden has received 2 awards; the “Prix Spécial Régional du Fleurissement” and the label “Jardin Remarquable”. It is worth a visit!
