Echeveria rusbyi
Echeveria rusbyi is known as leatherpetals and forms cute, chocolate brown to blue-green rosette with white, star-shaped flowers.
Echeveria rusbyi is a tender succulent sometimes knows as leatherpetals. It produces a very pretty display of nicely formed rosettes in tight colonies. The leaves are thick, cup-shaped and upward facing displaying dusty pinkish-browns to blue-greens. White to yellow star-shaped flowers with red banding emerge on tall stems. A tender evergreen perennial that requires well-drained soil and protection from frost and cold. Will happily occupy a windowsill during our Canadian winters.
