A tiny treasure for the succulent connoisseur! How could anyone resist this wee velvet Echeveria? Each powder-blue rosette is only about 2” across! CUUUTE. Flowers are still colorful & showy, even though they’re on the same scale as the rest of the plant. Blooming stems muster around 5” max, with many coral orange blooms tipped in yellow. Its dollhouse size means it might easily get lost if not watched over carefully – we have ours in its own tiny pot on its own little shelf, because it’s just that special. Slow growing, as Echeverias go & good drainage is preferred.
