Urban Orange Echeveria Seeds

Urban Orange Echeveria is a very slow-growing evergreen succulent plant that maintains its small size even at maturity. Echeveria is a very attractive architectural plant that forms a low-growing rosette of thick, fleshy powdery blue-grey leaves with red edges and tips. Borne on long stems, drooping bell-shaped orange flowers appear in late spring or early summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Urban Orange Echeveria has a compact, mounding habit. The plant multiplies by putting out offsets, or "pups," and forms a showy dense carpet of beautiful rosettes over time. Shown to best effect when grouped or massed, echeveria is an excellent container plant, but it makes great edging and ground cover for small spaces. It is a staple plant for green roofs and a perfect addition to a rock garden, a Mediterranean garden, and of course, a succulent garden.

Extremely easy-to grow, echeveria thrives in warm, dry climates and does not tolerate frost. The plant grows best in bright, sunny locations with sandy, dry to medium moist, well-draining soil having a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. It does not tolerate wet feet, but it is drought resistant and virtually disease free.
