Description

Echeveria secunda var. glauca differs from standard Echeveria secunda only in having thinner leaves, to 2 cm across, rather more pointed and still a lighter more glaucous-blue. The leaves are scarcely keeled, almost flat, truncate to rounded, and distinctly flaccid. This variety is one of the most common, it is robust and forms beautiful cushions up to 50 cm in diameter. The rosettes are blue 10-15 cm in diameter and tightly packaged. Superb summer bloom yellow and red are produced in summer. It is perhaps the most generally grown variety.
