Echeveria 'Echoc' - A dark leafed succulent with 6 inch wide rosettes of nearly black colored triangular leaves that first emerge green, giving the dark rosettes a bit of a green eye in the center. There is very little information available about this Echeveria cultivar except for observations that it looks a lot like the plant that is often sold as 'Black Prince' with some speculating that this is a renaming of such plants that were produced in the micro propagation (tissue culture) laboratory and as such it should produce salmon-red flowers in fall and winter. It should be noted however that true Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a Frank Reinelt hybrid between Echeveria affinis and E. shaviana and what is currently in the trade under this name does not match with the original description of 'Black Prince'. We are going to guess that this 'Echoc' plant can be grown in full to park coastal sun in a well drained soil and be irrigate occasionally with cold hardiness to around 25° F. Our plants from unrooted cuttings sent to us by Dümmen Orange. As we learn more about this plant we will add to this description.
The information displayed on this page about Echeveria 'Echoc' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
