Small dark yellow to slightly orange bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage on several stalks from the center of the rosette in late winter into spring. Plant in full coastal sun or light shade to shade inland in a well-drained soil. Hardy to around 20°F. The parentage of this plant is unclear as some list it as Echeveria derenbergii x E. runyonii while others as Echeveria derenbergii x E. setosa. It is noted as a hybrid from Germany in Rudolf (Lorraine) Shultz and Attila Kapitany's Echeveria Cultivars but with uncertain origins and no description. There appear to be several very different plants in the trade using this name including plants with very green leaves that may also be called 'Kircheriana'. Our plants from Longview Horticulture match plants in the collection at the Huntington Botanic Garden.  The information on this page is based on the research that we have conducted about this plant in the San Marcos Growers library, from what we have found on reliable online sources, as well as from observations made of our crops of this plant growing in the nursery and of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens where we may have observed it. We also have incorporated comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from those who may have additional information, particularly if this information includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Echeveria 'Dondo'.     [MORE INFO]
