Painted Echeveria (Echeveria nodulosa)

Commonly grown in containers, Painted Echeveria is an attractive succulent whose olive-green leaves have bright red leaf margins and red center markings. The fleshy, oval leaves form a central rosette up to 6-8” tall that become surrounded by young “pups” or offsets. Native to Mexico and Central America, Painted Echeveria thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. In late spring and summer, a tall flower stalk emerges.
