Notes
Echeveria (Echeveria pulidonis) 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is drought tolerant and evergreen, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Silver squill, Persian Carpet zinnia, and Vetiver.
