Echeveria imbricata is a vigorous and hardy ground-covering Echeveria with broad, flat foliage that forms 6 to 8 inch wide, saucer-like rosettes. Offsets freely to form a dense, mounding ground cover that reaches up to a foot wide. Blue-green to grey-green foliage flushes reddish pink along the edges in bright light. Blooms in spring and summer with arching spikes of red flowers with yellow lips. Useful as a small-scale ground cover in rock and succulent gardens. Adaptable to a variety of exposures, requires part sun inland. Plant in well-draining soil. Water occasionally and allow soil to dry out between waterings.
