Echeverias are wonderful rosettes that come in many sizes, colors, and textures. They do wonderfully in any well-draining soil, and are special delights in rock gardens. Echeverias are often referred to as hens and chicks because many varieties multiply to form clusters. Along with resembling flowers themselves, echeverias can produce pretty bell-shaped blooms, in hues such as coral pink, gold, or yellow, that hang from flower stalks. Succulents' adaptation for storing water allows them to endure drought and they thrive with minimal care. Part of what makes succulents so fun is that even two of the same variety can look distinct from one another because of differences in light and water received. Provide bright light. Echeverias will appreciate protection from afternoon sun during warmer months. Prefer well-draining soil with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Hardy to Zone 9 or 10, protect from frost. Smart Planet offers a remarkable selection of drought-tolerant plants that are not only easier to care for, they’re mindful of our planet too.
