Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Echeveria texensis is a gorgeous rosetted succulent featuring plump, spade shaped leaves in tones of powedery white, blue green and rosy pink. The pointed leaf tips turn red when the plant is ‘happily stressed’. In summer, yellow orange flowers with flamingo pink corollas appear, carried on pink stems emerging from the rosette center. 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!
