Echeveria pulvinata

Echeveria pulvinata Details

Echeveria pulvinata is an interesting succulent. It grows as a small, spreading plant carrying numerous bare stems. At the ends of the stems are tight rosettes of succulent, green leaves. The display is quite appealing. Short stems carrying waxy, orange flowers are held above the foliage in summer. This succulent may reach 20 cm tall and 40 cm wide, growing best in a full sun position on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of light frost, coastal environments, and dry periods. Echeveria pulvinata makes a great pot plant and is often used in rock gardens, or grown where something hardy and a little unusual is wanted.
