A selection of Echeveria subrigida with deeply-cupped, diamond-shaped leaves that twist out from the center of the rosette. Foliage is a streaky blue-green with a thin, deep pink to red band lining the edges. Grows as a single trunked rosette that, at 12 to 18 inches wide, gets quite large for an Echeveria. Blooms in late spring and summer with stalks of bell-shaped, pink-orange flowers. Requires part sun to bright shade inland as it needs protection from hot sun. Be sure to plant in very well-draining soil as it is highly susceptible to rotting. Water occasionally to infrequently and allow soil to dry out between waterings. Significantly more difficult to establish and maintain than other Echeveria. Typically wouldn’t be considered a candidate for larger scale commercial plantings unless cultural conditions are precise.
