Description,
Notes
|
Extravagant powdery blue foliage
with a deeper purple/red margin yields one of the larger
and more fascinating of the Echeverias; Entertaining late
season flower spikes are vividly colored and hummingbird
attracting; More cold tolerant than many in the genus,
although extended freezes have resulted in severe damage
to containers here at the nursery; Perfect as a "conversation
piece" patio plant, or directly in the ground with adequate
drainage; Drought and deer resistant.
