Echeveria 'Black Knight' (Prince) A wonderful succulent with shiny, dark chocolate brown colouring with inner green markings. | Echeveria elegans (flatter leaves) A good form of the increasingly popular bedding plants, with steely grey succulent foliage with bronze tinges and curious flowers in summer. |
Echeveria glauca (lobed leaves) Fleshy curving lobes, blue-white in colour with delicate flowers extending from the base in summer. | Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR) This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing. |
A very attractive, slow growing Echeveria that forms very neat symmetrical rosettes of pale whitish-pink grey leaves up to 20cm across. Coral coloured flowers emerge on reddish stems in spring. |
