Ebony' Echeveria
Extraordinarily eye-catching, Echeveria agavoides ‘Ebony’ is a small evergreen succulent forming tight rosettes of fleshy, sharp-pointed, gray-green leaves adorned with vivid red margins turning chocolate to dark purple towards their tips. In perfect specimens, this interesting coloration extends around the entire top half of the leaf. Reminiscent of an Agave, each leaf is tipped with a small spine (hence the name). In late winter into spring, a flowering spike bearing reddish-pink flowers with yellow tips is on display. The more sun this Echeveria gets, the more conspicuous its dark coloration. Cool weather will also bring out the deeper color. A great choice for sunny gardens or containers.
