Echeveria imbricataEcheveria imbricata, or sometimes referred to as Echeveria x imbricata, implying that it's a hybrid, forms a flat rosette of overlapping flat shield shaped leaves. Silver blue with a slight pink edging in bright light.
The most lovely feature of its growth habit is the way the older leaves dry up and form a papery basket around each of the rosettes. Preferred conditions are bright light, and well drained soil. It seems to like a mulch of lava rock or other small stones around the base. Propagation is best by leaf cuttings or offsets, as it is fairly slow growing. Use as a specimen plant in a clay pot. Price is $6.00 per 2" pot. go to Echeveria List A-L page

The ultimate size of each rosette is about 14cm across, but it will form clusters of many offsets with age.
