Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A lovely form of Mexican Hens and Chicks with 5-6" rosettes of powder blue leaves which retain a faint red edge. Nodding bell flowers on short stems are coral orange in summer. Note that all Echeveria require a porous (sharp draining soil). We loved the way 'Atlantis' performed in our vertical gardens. Shipping 4" pots.
