Echeveria Blue Prince P10.5

Echeveria ‘Blue Prince’ is a compact, tender succulent forming neat evergreen rosettes of fleshy, blue-toned leaves. In Ireland it’s best grown in full sun on a bright windowsill, porch or conservatory, or outside in summer only in a warm, very sheltered spot. Use a very free-draining, gritty or sandy compost, water sparingly in the growing season allowing the compost to dry between waterings, and keep almost dry in winter. Protect from frost and winter wet, and avoid water sitting in the rosette.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
