Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg

Among the most popular Echeverias with florists, 'Perle von Nurnberg' is a small evergreen succulent of breathtaking beauty. It forms a solitary rosette of fleshy, rounded, pointed, pastel gray leaves adorned with purplish-pink highlights. The nicely overlapping leaves are delicately dusted with a fine white powder (pruinose), which adds to the plant's appeal. Over time, the rosette grows up on a slender stem. This variety is one of the most prolific echeverias, often sending up 5 or 6 flowering spikes of coral pink flowers per year. 'Perle von Nurnberg' is highly valued in floral arrangements, wedding bouquets or containers.
