Mexican snowball, Echeveria elegans, is a clump-forming perennial bearing rosettes of fleshy, succulent, silver-blue leaves. Its yellow-tipped, pink flowers dangle from the top of long stalks in summer. It makes a good bedding plant, especially in areas of drought. It's also suitable for summer container displays and as a houseplant.
Grow Echeveria elegans in well-drained soil in full sun. In cooler regions protect from frost or move containers indoors in autumn.
