Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An eye catching Echeveria, forming 5-6" rosettes of powder blue foliage tipped in ruby red. Great mix and match plant with other succulents, including Senecio 'Mini Blue' and Crassula schmidtii. Grow Echeveria in a well drained soil mix. A mulch of small gravel helps keep foliage clean and away from contact with wet soil. Shipping 4" pots.
Beautiful red-tipped compact rosettes. Much prized for landscapes where the weather permits, but makes a great pot subject as well.
