Notes

'Dark Ice' echeveria (Echeveria 'Dark Ice') is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and indoor collections. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry soil. The rosettes start dusty blue with pink edges. Bright light or a little stress turns them deep burgundy red.

Pairs well with Coppertone stonecrop, Heavy Metal switchgrass, and Arum.
