Ebony Echeveria

Family

Crassulaceae

Origin

Mexico

Echeveria agavoides ‘Ebony’ is a coveted succulent with a stunning look and distinct color variations. Its symmetrical rosette closely resembles that of an agave, giving it its name “agavoides”. The triangular leaves are thick and come in light green to silvery-blue hues, with strikingly dark burgundy to black edges, resembling an “ebony” color. During spring or early summer, it produces small bell-shaped flowers in shades of red or pink on tall stalks.

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn’t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
