Echeveria spp. (Big) – Succulent Plant

Description

This plant with its pale grey-green leaves can be used as contrasting foliage in succulent plantings, cactus gardens or xeriscape plantings. It is also pretty used as edging for dry borders and in rock gardens. It can be kept in pots too, provided the soil drains well.

In bright light Echeveria forms small rosettes with fleshy, glaucous light silvery grey leaves. It quickly offsets to form clusters. In summer it blooms with short arching racemes of flowers.
