Echeveria 'Golden Glow' (Golden Glow Hen and Chicks) - This clump-forming succulent stays under a foot tall with 6 to 10 inch wide rosettes of broad pale green to yellow-green spoon-like leaves that can blush pink along the margin in summer when grown in sun. The plant looks solitary and is slow to have offsets but eventually can form a cluster to 18 inches wide or more with slowly elongating decumbent stems. Plant in full sun to bright shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to very little. Hardy to at least down to 25°F - our plants did not suffer at all at these temperatures in the January 2007 freeze. This cultivar is great in the shade garden but will only take on the yellow colors and red highlights grown in bright light or full sun and then usually only in summer months. Makes a nice large container specimen plant or for use as a succulent groundcover in the ground. This plant is thought to be an Echeveria agavoides hybrid though it is listed of unknown origins in Lorraine (Rudolph) Schultz and Attilla Kapitany's Echeveria Cultivar". We got our original stock of this 'Golden Glow' from Stockton succulent collector Alice Waidhofer in 2003.
