"Echeveria harmsii"
Echeveria harmsii A form of a naturally occurring Echeveria species from Oaxaca, Mexico. It is also known as a Chenille Plant, Ruby Blush, or Red Velvet because it has a crimson, velvety coating to protect it from the intense sun of its rocky habitats.
'Echeveria Harnsii' is a sun-loving plant and needs protection from hard frosts, but a little bit of environmental stress like direct sun, drought, and cool weather bring out the brightest reds along leaf margins. It is wonderfully low-maintenance whether growing in-ground or in a pot, so long as it has great drainage and gets plenty of sunshine. It usually blooms in winter by sending up flower stalks covered with orange, bell-shaped flowers.
The rosettes will stay fairly small but the fuzzy stems beneath them will continue to branch and grow up to 10.0" long.
