Echeveria 'Dick's Pink' - A solitary rosette-forming succulent with medium-sized heads to 8 to 10 inches wide on an elongating thick stem with large bluish to purple-grey leaves that have attractively contrasting red frilled leaf margins. Leaf color changes through the season and is more purple in winter and more blue when in active growth in spring and summer. Stout flower stalks rise above the foliage bearing large light red flowers. Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil. This plant is of uncertain origin though looks to have Echeveria shaviana and E. gibbiflora parentage. It is not thought to be associated with legendary Echeveria hybridizer Dick Wright. This plant is relatively fast growing and benefits from being beheaded and re-rooted every 2-3 years. We received our plants of this cultivar from Longview Horticulture.  This information about Echeveria 'Dick's Pink' displayed is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We will also note observations that we have made about it as it grows in the gardens in our nursery and those elsewhere, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
