Echeveria Pullidonis | |
Echeveria agavoides-Echeveria pulidonis hybrid is a cross that exhibits characteristics of both parents. Very compact rosette with slightly cupped leaves that are glaucous green with rose margins and tips. In habitat, many Echeverias grow on rocky outcroppings at higher altitudes. In this habitat, the water drains quickly away from the roots of the plant, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. For this reason, it is essential in cultivation to use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. Bright light is required to prevent "stretching" of Echeverias ("stretching" occurs when a moderately fast growing plant such as an Echeveria, is grown in dim light or over-fertilized, which causes overly lush growth that contributes to weak, pallid plants). Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost. $5.25 |

Pachyveria Glauca 'Little Jewel' | |
Pachyveria are hybrids between the genera Pachyphytum and Echeveria (most hybrids are between species in the same genus). Pachyveria 'Glauca' (commonly known as "Little Jewel") forms tapered cylindrical leaves of dusky powdery blue with reddish tints at the tips and some violet tones. In late winter, melon-colored flowers appear on arching racemes. Forms very structural spiky rosette that is great for dish gardens and rock gardens both for its unusual color and shape. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright light to full sun. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost. Propagation: Pachyveria can have characteristics of either parent, and some are sterile and can only be propagated vegetatively, not from seed. Growing Tips: Succulent plants require a very quickly draining soil, either with extra drainage material such as sand with all dust and small particles sieved out or one specially developed for cacti and succulent plants. Also beneficial is a mulch of small stones or gravel to assist in drainage around the base of the plant. Water thoroughly only when the soil is quite dry and avoid watering altogether in cooler weather and winter. Use fertilizer sparingly while plants are actively growing. We suggest planting succulent plants in a clay pot, partly for their good drainage, and also to prevent large heavy plants from tipping over while drying out as recommended between waterings. $5.25 |

Sedeveria Letizia | |
| According to information on the Sedum Society this is an older hybrid between Sedum cuspidatum X Echeveria setosa var. ciliata that went unnamed until Jean-Michel Moullec published the name in the January 2006 Sedum Society Newsletter (No. 7) honoring his Italian friend Letizia Alleruzzo though it is speculated that the plant likely originated from Fred Wass, a British cactus and succulent collector. Sedum cuspidatum, the seed parent of this plant is a slow growing species from western Chiapas and eastern Oaxaca with red tinged green leaves that rise up on vertical, highly textured stems and with an inflorescence that rises above the foliage with only a few white flowers. The pollen parent, Echeveria setosa var. ciliata (E. ciliata), is a mostly ground hugging plant from Oaxaca with short stems less than 3 inches long, each topped with a flat rosette of many leaves similar in shape to the hybrid that are edged in red with fine hairs. It has red and yellow flowers on an hairy inflorescence that rises well about the foliage. The leaves are green with a red tinge depending on light levels. In full sun, or when stressed, it is almost totally red, in shade the rosettes are totally green. Sedeveria 'Letizia' (Lety's Sedeveria) - is a beautiful small succulent branching at the base with a cluster of stems that grow to about 8 inches tall with 2 1/2 inch wide rosettes bearing many tightly arranged 1 inch long green deltoid shaped leaves with fine hairs along the margins. The older rosettes sit atop slender bare stems while younger ones have leaves the length of the stems. In spring multiple inflorescences rise from below the top of the rosette and, rising above the rosette, bear flowers in a scorpiod cyme that are white with petal tips barely pink with the stem bristling with fine hairs. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally. It is hardy to around 21 °F. A great plant for a small choice spot in in the rock or succulent garden and great as a container plant. $7.25 |

Echeveria Purpusorum
|
|
| Echeveria purpusorum (usually known as an Urbinia) is one of the slowest-growing Echeverias and it is necessary to cultivate it for many years to get a nice specimen. Its attractiveness lies in the beautifully speckled leaves. It can tolerate sun to shade but the more light a plant gets the better it will display its colours and shape. However, when moving plants from lower light conditions into full sun, be wary of sun scorch, most easily avoided by ensuring plants are well-watered before moving them on a cloudy day. They can tolerate extended dry periods and survive drought without the need for watering, but they will grow stronger if they receive adequate moisture during their growing season, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged (root rot sensitive). Use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. Slow release fertilisers with a low to moderate nitrogen content are adequate for the spring and summer growing seasons. Good air movement is important for minimizing pest and disease risks, and avoiding excessive humidity. It can tolerate light frosts, but it is best overwintered at 5-10 °C. With the cooler autumn temperatures tending to make their foliage colours become more intense than those of the active summer growing season. $7.25 |

Graptosedum 'Vera Higgins'
|
|
| Graptosedum 'Vera Higgins' - A small succulent with reddish-bronze-colored foliage. The 1 inch long leaves, flat on the upper surface and keeled below, whorl around the stem with leaves at the tip arranged in a rosette. The leaves remain somewhat persistent on the stem so that the rosette is usually subtended by several inches of older leaves. In spring appear the terminal clusters of pinkish flower buds that open to reveal the 4-petaled yellow flowers. Growing to about 6 inches tall, it can spread or drape over a pot. Plant in sun (coastal) to light shade with good drainage in areas that don't see severe frosts - has tolerated 25° F without damage and likely can go a bit lower. For several years sold it as Sedum 'Coffee'. It is actually an intergeneric hybrid between Graptopetalum paraguayensis and Sedum stahlii and the correct name should be X Graptosedum 'Vera Higgins' or perhaps 'Bronze' - these two names seem interchangeable and there has been some debate on which is correct. In Holland this plant has been called Graptopetalum Roseum. Some list this as a synonym for Graptoveria 'Alpenglow' but these are distinctly different plants. The Huntington Botanic Garden notes on their information on 'Vera Higgins' that it is more robust and paler than 'Alpenglow'. Our thanks to John Trager of the Huntington Gardens for clearing up our confusion on the name of this little beauty. The name honors Vera Higgins (1892-1968), a British botanical artist, author, translator and fellow of the Linnean Society of London and recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Victoria Medal of Honour in 1946. She was the the first editor of The Cactus Journal of the Cactus & Succulent Society of Great Britain from 1931 thru 1939 when World War II forced the Society to close down. During the war she was the editor of the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society. Her last book was Crassulas in Cultivation, written in 1964.
