Echeveria elegans is a low-growing succulent featuring tight, symmetrical, rose-shaped rosettes of thick, pale, blue-green leaves covered with a white powdery wax and slender stalks bearing lantern-shaped, pink flowers tipped with bright yellow. Freely sprouts horizontal offsets. Uses include rock garden, groundcover, focal point, container, living wall, green roof. Does well in seacoast and desert landscapes. Prefers full sun to light shade. Requires bright, direct sunlight to maintain its compact shape and powdery blue-green color. Low water needs; let it dry out between watering. It prefers infrequent, deep watering and must be completely dry in winter. Requires an excellent-draining, gritty soil with low organic matter and slightly acidic. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-retardant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 25°F.
