Nursery contributed plant descriptions

NEW! Echeveria ‘Purple Dance’ is a unique succulent that features thin, bluish-green to purple leaves arranged in an open rosette. The leaves ruffle and become tinged with bright pink as they mature. As with most succulents, the leaf color is most pronounced when the plant is under environmental stress. Major stress factors include prolonged sun exposure and cooler temperatures. Echeveria are small, slow-growing, low maintenance plants. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Echeveria ‘Purple Dance’ is especially happy sitting on a sunny windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
