Echeveria secunda glauca 'Lenore Dean'

This beautiful variegated Echerveria is named for the Sonoma gardener in whose garden it was originally discovered. When this plant made it to the UK, it was given the name 'Compton Carousel'. Also distributed under 'Serenity' and 'DS2009'.


Echeverias make a great groundcovers under shrubs and tall perennials - they appreciate the partial shade and their shallow roots do not compete with their companions.
