Highlights

Echeveria 'Lilac Frost' (O'Connell): Giant rosette with astounding, bumpy texture on nearly the whole leaf surface when mature. It can grow to 12.0" and then grows tall on its stem. It has very distinctive coloring of mint green, frosted with a lavender wash that changes through the seasons. Keep in bright sun to see the full expression of the leaf colors. The leaves are covered with a powdery coating of natural wax (farina). Older, outer leaves will turn a dusty rose color. This cultivar is a hybrid of E. 'Etna'.

Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.
