Echeveria elegans is a beautiful succulent, producing a tight rosette of blue-green leaves. A distinctive pink tip will develop during periods of cold or water stress. A stem carrying red flowers rises well above the foliage during summer and provides additional interest to this plant. This succulent typically grows to 20 cm tall and about 30 cm wide, growing best in a full sun position on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and extended dry periods. This succulent makes a great pot plant and is often used in rock gardens, or grown where something hardy and a little unusual is wanted. The wonderful leaf texture and colour makes this a stand out plant.
