Notes
Echeveria (Echeveria agavoides) is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and succulent 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. Its apple green leaves show off the pinks, blues, and burgundies of other succulents. Bright light or a little stress will bring out richer colors.
Pairs well with Prickly-pear, White sage, Coppertone stonecrop, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
