Notes

Echeveria (Echeveria lilacina) is a succulent for containers and low maintenance gardens. 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 or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit it, and it stays evergreen.

Pairs well with Silver squill, Coppertone stonecrop, and Heavy Metal switchgrass.
