Echeveria 'Blue Atoll' is a lovely, powdery blue-green rosette with tightly packed, cupped, pointed leaves. Displays orange and yellow flowers on 8.0” tall stems.

Ideal in warm climate landscapes, rock gardens and container gardens, but is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ plant from frost!
Love the 4-5" rosettes of powder blue green foliage of this handsome Echeveria. Small yellow/orange flowers on 8" scapes in spring, and occasionally in summer. Plants stay low to the ground, under 6" in height. Pair this with low spreading Sedums, such as S. dasyphyllum, 'VooDoo' or 'Athoum' in shallow containers. Shipping 4" pots.
