Romance is most often about flowering favorites such as roses. However, don't think those of us who live where water restrictions limit our plant choices can't have swoon-worthy gardens, too! Present someone with a few of these red-tipped succulents in a heart-shaped planter. Alternatively, with ones sitting outside taking in any of the three water-wise wonders below. This would be an affair to remember.
