Description

Echeveria 'Black Knight' is a low-growing succulent perennial plant. It produces lime-green pointed leaves edged with dark brown-red colouring, arranged in rosettes and it develops into a solid mound. In summer it produces cream to red flowers on long 8 inch tall stem.

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn't, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
