With large, loose rosettes of deep aqua leaves with red edges, the vibrant colors of Echeveria ‘Blue Sky’ are sure to steal the show in any container or xeriscaped garden. A particularly fast-growing variety, each rosette can reach up to 12 inches in diameter, adding to its head-turning appeal.

'Blue Sky,' like most Echeveria, prefers full sun – though it can tolerate some late afternoon shade. In consistently dim conditions, it will begin to lose some of its rich color and the rosettes may begin to elongate, so take care to provide enough sunlight on a daily basis. Beyond this, overwatering is the most likely downfall of this variety, but porous soil with adequate drainage, thorough watering only when the soil is completely dry, and ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface will all go a long way towards protecting ‘Blue Sky’ from this fate.

During the winter months, protect this variety from frost to avoid permanent scarring to the leaves – and soon the warm temperatures of spring will bring on fresh growth, as well as clusters of pink flowers known to attract hummingbirds!
