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.
This information about Echeveria 'Gilva' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources.
