Description

Echeveria colorata ‘Mexican Giant’ is a beautiful slow-growing succulent that forms stemless, usually solitary rosettes of upright, arching, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves. The older leaves often have a blush of pink. Rosettes grow up to 1 foot (30 cm) in diameter. The leaves are covered with a powdery-white waxy coating that gives this plant a very attractive look. Flowers are salmon to orange on the exterior with yellow interiors and appear on up to 20 inches (50 cm) long stems.
