The genus Echeveria is named after the 18th century Spanish botanist Atanasio Echeverria Codoy. Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg' is one of the most beautiful and striking of Echeverias. It is a hybrid of Echeveria gibbiflora v. metallica and Echeveria potosina. It's rosette grows to 6" in diameter in a lovely purplish- violet pink with somewhat triangular leaves. A gracefully arching spike of delicate coral flowers springs forth during spring months. Excellent for windowsills or as color accent in rock garden or dish garden. In habitat, many Echeverias grow on rocky outcroppings at higher altitudes. In this habitat, the water drains quickly away from the roots of the plant, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. For this reason, it is essential in cultivation to use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. Bright light is required to promote good plant growth and strength. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
