Description

Echeveria hybrids are succulents that has numerous cultivars. This is not a tropical plant. Most have thick, wide leaves and some have ruffled, frilly leaves. Foliage is in rosettes, some tightly coiled and others, loose. They do well in coastal areas and need afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. They like to grow in containers and among rocks and small crevices. They need well draining soil. Leaves come in different colors, thus folks grow them for the foliage more than the flowers which are typically on a thin stalk. Most have offsets, thus easy to propagate. They spread but are typically not invasive.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
