Echeveria 'Blue Prince'

Echeveria are attractive succulents, usually grown in Britain as houseplants, forming evergreen rosettes of fleshy leaves. There are many varieties and cultivars to choose from within the genus, from compact plants ideal for windowsill displays, to larger specimens better suited to growing in the conservatory or greenhouse. Echeverias flower in summer, but they are mostly grown for their foliage.

Echeveria 'Blue Prince' bears tight rosettes of blue-green foliage, which darkens to bronze as leaves mature. Contrasting yellow flowers appear on tall stems from late spring.

For best results grow Echeveria 'Blue Prince' in pots in well-drained compost, in a sunny position. Move pots indoors in autumn to overwinter.
