Notes
Painted echeveria (Echeveria nodulosa) 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 rarely make it their first choice. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit its blooms.
Pairs well with Coppertone stonecrop, Silver squill, and Orange bougainvillea.
