Pachyveria 'Draco'
Original:A new introduction by Echeveria Universe offered by Surreal Succulents. Echeveria are popular low growing ornamental garden plants. Although they are fairly drought tolerant, they will become more spectacular with regular deep watering and fertilising. The hybrids tend to be less tolerant of frost and shade. In temperate climates, most species will lose their lower leaves in winter and become 'leggy' and less attractive. Echeveria are also popular pot plants and appear in most succulent collections. New:Pachyveria is a cultivated succulent which is both readily available and easy to grow. It’s versatile, thriving in the (frost free) garden and in containers Pachyveria are a hybrid cross between Pachyphytum and Echeveria.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Prior to planting, work in a 50/50 mix of compost and sand or pumice into the pot or growing site. Plant your 'Little Jewel' no deeper than it was planted in the nursery pot it came in. Provide at least 12 inches of space around the plant to it to sprawl, since Pachyveria plants start out upright, but then spread out along the ground. Mulch around the plant with black pebbles to enhance its appearance.
