Can I ask you which echeverias you manage to harden off? I notice you are in same zone as I and I have this winter been planning to leave my echeverias outside and hope that come Spring they are still alive. I have various cultivars of E. setosa, imbricata, puldonis, agavoides and am testing them with Tuff Love...
