Fire and Ice Echeveria
Echeveria subrigida ‘Fire and Ice’
Fire and Ice Echeveria is a breathtaking, sculptural succulent prized for its dramatic, large, cup-shaped rosettes and stunning coloration. A selected form of the Mexican native Echeveria subrigida, this variety features broad, narrow-triangular, spoon-shaped leaves in a cool, powdery, pale silver-blue to icy green, each dramatically edged in vivid, fiery red to hot pink . The intense margin color is most pronounced when the plant is grown in bright light, creating a striking "fire and ice" contrast that gives this cultivar its name . Mature rosettes send up tall, slender, branching stalks bearing nodding, bell-shaped, coral-pink to orange flowers in spring and summer, which are a magnet for hummingbirds . A slow-growing, low-maintenance succulent, it is an outstanding choice for container specimens, rock gardens, and as a dramatic focal point in sunny, frost-free landscapes.
