Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Echeveria is actually a hybrid of two plants, Pachyphytum bracteosum and Echeveria secunda, which are both also grown here at Little Prince. Features silvery to blue-green, upward facing, spoon-shaped succulent leaves in a very dense rosette. The margins glow red under intense sunlight and drought conditions. Displays yellow and red flowers on thin, tall stalks in the summer and spring. Echeveria are low maintenance, and require little water once established. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens, but is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ plant from frost!
