Plant in full sun to light shade. Best in a well-drained soil and watered occasionally to infrequently.

We purchased this plant as Echeveria x imbricata with a common name Blue Rose but note that it is more open than the original form we long listed as Echeveria 'Imbricata', which was a plant hybridized in the 1870s by by Jean-Baptiste A. Deleuil. Another plant that is being offered as Echeveria x imbricata in the nursery trade is a reverted form of the variegated plant 'Compton Carousel'. To differentiate these plants we are calling the 'Compton Carousel' reversion by the name Echeveria x imbricata 'Gray Swirl', the original form Echeveria x imbricata and calling this third variety Echeveria x imbricata 'Blue Rose'. For more information on the origin and naming of these plants, see our listing of Echeveria x imbricata.
