valleylynn (Oregon City, OR - Zone 8b) on Feb 21, 2012 3:25 PM concerning plant:
This Echeveria will produce rosettes up to 5 inches across. The rosettes are borne on naked, branching stems.
The plants will grow as large as the container allows. Where plants are hardy enough to overwinter, they can grow 1-2 feet tall.
The plant prefers cool sun or light shade.
Drought tolerant and needs a fast draining soil.
Per San Marcos Gardens: This plant comes from a wide range within central Mexico (Oaxaca to Puebla) where is typically grows on dry limestone hills. The genus Echeveria was named to honor Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy in 1828 by the French botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (DeCandolle) who was very impressed with Echeverría's drawings. Echeverría had accompanied the the Sessé and Mociño expedition (led by Martin de Sessé y Lacasta and Mariano Mociño Suárez de Figueroa) while exploring Mexico and northern Central America and had produced thousands of botanical illustrations.

Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on May 26, 2020 11:04 AM concerning plant:
Attractive branching Echeveria from south-central Mexico with smallish rosettes (4-5 inches) bearing red markings and pink flowers in summer. This plant requires strong light or it will become stemmy and weak, and it will need to be restarted periodically from cuttings to avoid too much of a sprawling habit. Leaves are gray-green with red lines along the margins and on both surfaces. The named cultivar "Painted Lady" has somewhat wider leaves with nice markings. From high altitudes in Puebla and Oaxaca. Distributed as ISI 420 (1963) and ISI 1137 (1979). At least one carunculated form exists.
