Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comPurchased a beautiful bright green succulent (name unknown) the size of 1/2 a cantalope with upright spikes. Planted with sedums and some annuals in large container provided by my apt bldg. Has gradually turned rust red, starting at the tips of the spikes and moving down to the base of the plant.
