Echeveria 'Imbricata'

I think my favourite succulents are the Echeverias.  There are so many of them that come in rosette form and clump up with age.  They all come in the most diverse range of colours and shapes, with beautiful dainty bell shaped flowers as well.  Today I'm featuring a very popular one called Echeveria 'Imbricata'.  This is a french hybrid which is very hardy and can withstand frosts so its very popular in temperate gardens the world over.  It takes a while to start forming offsets and sprawls over the ground, making it excellent for banks and the like.  It can be propagated from the offsets that form or by deheading the main plant.  Can also try the leaves.

    I like that succulent, Gwen. You will have to put a 'Pin It' button on your images. LOL! I am very close to trying to do it....just not quite brave enough at the moment. :-)

      Thanks Nanna Chel. I have been scared off with the Pin It button! Maybe will try again down the track. I'm not very computer savvy unfortunately.
