    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Echeveria setosa is an extra fuzzy succulent with plump, fleshy green leaves arranged in a rosette. Silvery white hairs cover the plant, giving it a soft texture and glimmering sheen. Displays scarlet red and yellow flower on tall stems that emerge from the rosette. 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 setosa is especially happy sitting on a sunny windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
