Echeveria 'Gilva' - An attractive clustering succulent of compact 6 inch wide rosettes holding wedge shaped and pointed olive green leaves with red margins that tends to turn redder in winter months or when drought stressed. Flowering anytime from late winter to fall it displays yellow tipped pink flowers nodding at the top of a 12 to 18 inch unbranched inflorescence. Plant in full to part sun in a well drained soil with an occasional watering. Hardy down to 15-20°F. A nice landscape or potted specimen plant. Though often listed as Echeveria agavoides 'Gilva', it is actually considered to be a hybrid between Echeveria agavoides and Echeveria elegans. Our plants from unrooted cuttings sent to us by Dümmen Orange.  Information displayed on this page about  Echeveria 'Gilva' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
