Echeveria x imbricata' 'Dummen Green' (Green Hens and Chicks) - This is a greener selected form of the popular and vigorous Echeveria x imbricata that is 4 to 8 inches wide with tight rosettes of grey-green leaves that, when mature, form offsets freely to form large solid clumps that are 4 to 6 inches tall. It has a branched arching inflorescence bearing clusters of red and yellow flowers in the spring and early summer. Plant in full sun, even in hotter inland gardens, to part sun/light shade where it looks a bit more lush in a well-drained soil and water occasionally to very little. It is one of the hardiest of the Echeveria, tolerating short durations of temperatures down to 20 degrees F.
