Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Great for a windowsill or succulent planter outdoors in the summer, 'Claire' has 3" Blue green rosettes of chunky thick foliage, tipped in rosy red when temperatures are cooler, with short stems bearing racemes of nodding yellow flowers in winter and spring. Offsets are produced close to the base, and plants. 'Claire' is really an intergeneric hybrid of Pachyphytum and Echeveria, but it is sometimes listed as an Echeveria. It appears the form 'Cimette' is one and the same.
Large growing hybrids with green bodies, leaves sometimes rimmed with pink to red edging during the summer but more colorful during the winter. Our own plants are mostly dressed in green yet. Sometimes listed as x Pachyveria andreae. New plants growing on.
