Mexican Firecracker

Description

A compact rosette succulent with fuzzy, silvery-green leaves tipped in red. In the warmer months, tall, slender flower spikes produce vivid coral-red and yellow tubular flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds. An easy, low-maintenance succulent.

Grows in full sun with well-drained soil. Drought tolerant and frost resistant. Works in pots, rockeries, and succulent gardens. Offsets freely to form small clusters over time.

Botanical name: Echeveria setosa var. deminuta
