Echeveria shaviana cv. 'Pink Frills' forms rosettes to 6" or more in diameter with extremely frilly frosty violet leaves that are margined in bright pink. Excellent color accent for wreaths, rock gardens, dish gardens and patio plantings. Arching raceme with small apricot bell-shaped flowers. 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 prevent "stretching" of Echeverias ("stretching" occurs when a moderately fast growing plant such as an Echeveria, is grown in dim light or over-fertilized, which causes overly lush growth that contributes to weak, pallid plants). Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
