Plant Guardians

Echeveria ‘Mexecensis’


Description:

A small hybrid cultivar which forms a tight rosette that will offset over time. It was possibly created by German nurseryman Alfred Gräser in Nuremberg. The leaves are spatulate and have a pronounced tip. Plants are pale blue in colour, with mauve leaf edges and tips, and a whitish farina. Flower stalks grow to around 20cm tall and bear around 9 light pink flowers with an orange-yellow interior, that taper toward the tip. Not cold hardy, protect from frost and damp during the winter months.
