Echeveria colorata f. lindsayana is a highly ornamental succulent, forming tight rosettes of blue, fleshy leaves with pretty pink tips. Gorgeous pink flowers appear on arching stems from mid-summer to autumn.
For best results grow plants in a well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It's perfect for growing in gravel gardens and sunny borders, but is best suited to growing in containers, which you can move indoors in autumn if a severe frost is forecast.
