Echeveria pulidonis

Description

Echeveria pulidonis

Echeveria pulidonis is a charming succulent native to Mexico, prized for its attractive rosettes of fleshy leaves. This compact plant typically grows to a height of 10-15 cm, with rosettes reaching a diameter of 15-20 cm, making it an ideal choice for small spaces, frost free rock gardens, or as part of a succulent arrangement.

The leaves of Echeveria pulidonis are spoon-shaped and distinctively pale greyish blue-green in colour, often with a subtle pinkish tinge along the edges. This colouration intensifies with increased sun exposure, adding to the plant’s ornamental appeal. The leaf edges are slightly ruffled, giving the rosettes a delicate, frilled appearance.

In late spring to early summer, Echeveria pulidonis produces arching flower stalks bearing small, bright yellow, bell-shaped flowers. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this succulent prefers well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant, making it a low-maintenance addition to any collection.
