Notes
'Swallow' echeveria (Echeveria 'Swallow') is a succulent that forms small rosettes of apple green leaves. 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. Thin red edges often trim the leaves, and red flowers appear from early to late summer. Bright light brings out its richest colors.
Pairs well with Desert spoon, Coppertone stonecrop, and Coccineus mother of thyme.
