Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Echeveria cana is a very upward growing, rosette-forming succulent with extra chunky, oblong, silvery blue-green leaves. Unlike most other species, Echeveria cana grows taller than it does wide, giving it a distinct form. The leaves will flush red under intense lighting and drought conditions. Displays orange and yellow blooms on thin stalks. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Requires little water once established. 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!
