Echeveria 'Ruffled Red'- A large Echeveria that produces foot wide rosettes on stout stems 12 to 18 inches long with spoon-shaped leaves that are a pink tinted gray-green when first emerging and with darker red highlights and frilly undulated margins as leaves elongate and age. In fall through winter this species will often form a tall branching inflorescence holding bell-shaped reddish flowers that are yellow on the inside. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally – brighter light brings out the red in the foliage. We have not had this plant through a cold winter but cultivars of this type species are typically hardy short term temperature down to around 25° F. Trim older lower leaves as they senesce and cut and reroot foliage heads when stems become too top heavy but keep rooted lower stems as they usually resprout new growth. We have found no good reference information about this cultivar. This is the name we purchased this plant as but do not know if this name is correct (perhaps this is the same as 'Red Ruffles' ?), who created it or what its parents were but it certainly looks to be a hybrid involving Echeveria gibbiflora - for more information about this species see our listing for Echeveria gibbiflora

This information about Echeveria 'Ruffled Red' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
