Echeveria agavoides

Deservedly popular and easy to grow as well.

This clump will show more color as it's exposed to more sun this Spring and Summer. Meanwhile, with the flowers, who needs more. Wow!

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony'

When we first got our starter plant for this it was much, much darker. But we're here in Oregon and we don't get the sun they get farther south and it's harder to get the really dark colors. But, who's complaining. Really. It may not be as "ebonyish" is it will be with more sun, but the colors here are just as outstanding.

Our company from Wisconsin arrived today and I'm not sure when I'll have the time to go out and take more pictures. There are some wonderful and odd little flowers out there and I need to get out with the tripod and closeup lens. I'll try...but no guarantees!

Enjoy your plants

Echeveria agavoides 'Red Edge'

I think it must be, at least in part, because of the high demand for these plants that the cultivar names multiply like rabbits (or mealybugs! - on other people's plants, of course). These particular plants had more intense and deeper red when being grown in Southern California, but are a little less intense in our climate. Whatever their names, they're deservedly popular.

Echeveria 'Rubra'

I don't have any idea about where this cultivar originated or if this is even the correct name, but it's not the same in appearance as any of the other one's we grow. Of course, it appears to be a form of Echeveria agavoides, but whatever it is it's quite impressive. It came to us labeled 'Rubra', so until we learn otherwise, we'll keep that label.

 

Echeveria agavoides hybrid

These are both the same plants but the top one is now, showing its full winter color. The second photo was taken during the summer. We received it simply as Echeveria agavoides hybrid, but around the greenhouse we call it "Apple Green"...except during the winter, just when we need the color.
