Echeveria 'Black Prince'Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a hybrid between Echeveria affinis and Echeveria shaviana and is one of the darkest coloured Echeveria. In winter, the colouration is more to the green side, but then will darken to purple or black in full sun.
Echeveria 'Black Prince' will happily grow in many conditions as long as the light is bright, and soil well drained. It will apparently survive frost of several degrees, so something to play with. Propagates by leaf cuttings, and beheading. As it only reluctantly offsets this is not a reliable form of propagation. Best uses are as individual potted specimens, in succulent wreaths, or mixed container plantings. Combine Echeveria 'Black Prince' with Pennisetum or blue fescue and trailing blue or dark red Sedum in a clay or hypertufa pot for an eye catching look. Price of 2" pot $6.00 each.
