Echeveria colorata 'Mexican Giant' (Mexican Giant Echeveria) This beautiful large cultivar is slow growing to form mostly solitary stemless rosettes up to 1 foot across with distinctive upright arching fleshy lance shaped leaves with a fine point, that with the older leaves often has a blush of pink. All surfaces of the leaves are completely covered with a powdery white waxy coating that gives this plant a very attractive look, somewhat similar to Dudleya pulverulenta or the gray form of Dudleya brittonii. The 12-20 inch long flowering stems have flowrs that are salmon to orange on the exterior with yellow interiors. Plant in full sun to bright light in a well drained soil. Irrigate gently or preferably from the side or below and avoid touching to avoid removing the white coating on the leaves.
