Echeveria 'Domingo' (Domingo Hen and Chicks) - A beautiful succulent that forms mostly solitary large rosettes to 10 inches wide with uniformly bluish leaves coated in a white waxy covering that gives the plant a beautiful blue hue. The inflorescence which rises above the rosette in summer has a stem the same color as the foliage and large bright salmon-pink flowers with orange interiors. Plant in full coastal sun to bright shade or under glass and as with Echeveria cante and its other offspring, it is best to avoid damaging the white waxy coating by touching it or by overhead watering. Hardy to around 25° F. This Dick Wright hybrid between Echeveria runyonii and Echeveria cante (was called E. subrigida when cross was made) was reportedly named Domingo, the Spanish word for Sunday, in reference to its white coloration and clean formal shape. Dick Wright of De Luz, California (north San Diego County), hybridized many showy Echeveria hybrids from 1958 until 1985, when his nursery was destroyed by the devastating Camp Pendleton Firestorm. Our plants produced by tissue cultured by Longview Horticulture.
