Echeveria 'Dondo'

This is certainly one of the current star attractions in the greenhouse. For the relatively small plant it is, it kind of stands out and almost smacks you in the face. Rudolf (Lorraine) Shultz and Attila Kapitany's Echeveria Cultivars says this is a German hybrid of uncertain heritage.

  2. I planted one outside under a shade tree in a little rock garden and it is doing beautifuly... I will probably dig it up before the winter though and bring it in. Not sure how it would do in cold

  3. A good idea. I don't know how cold it gets where you are, but it's not really frost hardy.

    1. Of course, it's not hardy, and will require protection during the winter.
