Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Echeveria ‘Blue Speed’ is a lovely succulent variety with dusky, blueish purple leaves arranged in a dense rosette. The leaf tips and margins glow pink when the plant is “happily stressed”. A thick coating of epiticular wax, or farina, covers the leaves, giving them a chalky appearance. 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™ from frost!
