Echeveria amoena

Echeveria amoena has pretty, soft grey-green leaves and forms clumps of rosettes. Bright yellow-orange flowers! A small, slow-growing, low maintenance plant. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Echeveria amoena is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ plant from frost!

Easily one of the cutest darn succulents around, E. amoena is one of my favorites in the genus & I grow tons of them. Its itsy bitsy blue grey rosettes tinged with pink (in part shade) are a wee 2" wide & 1" high, forming a little colony of cuteness (mine's about 1.5' wide after a year or so). Super simple to grow, I've been able to propagate these cuties from my main village of rosettes with no problem & now have them tucked all over the place in my garden. Stunning in containers, mixed up with other succulent friends. In late Spring they bust out with lantern like apricot blooms on red stems for a show that lasts at least a month. Good drainage is the key to happiness.

New from Monterey Bay Nursery a small echeveria, with silvery blue rosettes, to only 2" across on stalks to only 2" tall, that form colornies with late winter, early spring flowers of pale yellow and coral. For sun to part shade with very little water needed where drainage is very good. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
