Description

A delightfully colourful succulent, Echeveria agavoides 'Rubra' features sharp-tipped leaves edged in red. Occasionally it will grace with 16" spikes of dainty yellow blooms. This particular rubra is intense red and even has gold flecking along the bottom of its most mature leaves. It produces striking colours when subdued to long hours of sun exposure or cold weather

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
