Nursery contributed plant descriptions

More subtle than Echeveria 'Ebony' and 'Lipstick'. The tip color on 'Scarlet' tends to blend into the rest of the leaf as opposed to making hard-edged color changes. Stress causes the entire plant to take on a reddish tone. Performs best in flittered light for inland gardens or full sun for coastal locations. Mature size is 10-12" and pups may form on older plants. Hardy to at least 28 °F
