Echeveria ‘Orpet’
Echeveria 'Orpet' has cup-shaped silvery blue-green leaves that form rosettes with pink flowers.
Echeveria ‘Orpet’ forms lovely rosettes of thick, upward facing cupped and spade-shaped leaves of silvery-blue. In full sun or with a little water stress, the margins may flush in vibrant pink to peach tones. A low growing clumper five inches high by six inches wide will, overtime, form attractive colonies of rosettes. A drought tolerant tender succulent that requires protection from frost and cold. Will happily occupy a sunny windowsill during Canadian winters.
