Highlights
Blue Rose (Echeveria 'Imbricata' or Echeveria x imbricata) (Deleuil): An old French hybrid (E. glauca x E. gibbiflora 'Metallica') that's been popular across three centuries because it is a forgiving grower with an elegant form. Its dense, rounded leaves are a soft blue-green and form a neat rosette up to 10.0" wide. These leaves are also coated in farina, a powdery substance that covers the leaves of many Echeveria. When grown in bright sunlight, the edges can even blush pastel pink.
'Imbricata' is a freely offsetting variety. Left to their own devices, these offsets will develop into large, layered clusters that beautifully fill a container. With years of growth, the bare stems beneath the rosettes can grow up to 6.0" tall. To regain a compact look, follow our guide to fixing an overgrown succulent.
A mature 'Imbricata' tends to tolerate lower temperatures than most other Echeveria, but it should still be brought indoors before any hard frosts. Place the container near a sunny window or under a grow light to preserve its color and compact form. Echeveria are drought tolerant; prevent rot by using containers with drainage holes. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, but allow soil to completely dry before watering again.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GROW LIGHT
Light Output
- Lumens are the main measure of light output or brightness you should consider. Our eyes are not very objective when it comes to measuring brightness, so it's important to read a grow light's specifications before purchase.
- Select a grow light that provides 300 - 800 lumens per square foot.

Some varieties that would work well near a path or an edge to your garden are Graptopetalum paraguaynse, Sedum rubrotinctum, and Portulacaria as they're more safe.

I've also included zone 5 and 4 plants because they'd also grow well in zone 6. Most of this list will consist of hardy Sedum and Sempervivum, but there are some neat exceptions like Delosperma and Prometheum.

1) Sticky traps. Grab a yellow index card and smear some honey or thick corn syrup over both surfaces. Suspend this card an inch above the soil your plant is in. The yellow color and sugary smell will attract the flying adults which will get stuck to the card (growing a carnivorous plant, like a sundew, near the infested plant will work as well).
2) 1.5% hydrogen peroxide. Buy hydrogen peroxide from any store where first aid supplies are sold. Usually, it's sold as 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then mix it in a 1:1 ratio with water, giving you 1.5% hydrogen peroxide. Water with this mixture instead of plain water. This will kill the soil dwelling larva. Be warned, hydrogen peroxide will turn into water and oxygen rapidly, in the presence of sunlight. Please keep this mixture out of sunlight until you… See full answer »
