NEW! Echeveria ‘Alita’ is an attractive, rosetted succulent featuring cupped, blue green leaves with red edges. As with most succulents, the leaf color is most pronounced when the plant is “happily stressed” in its environment. 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 ‘Spark’ is especially happy sitting on a sunny windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
