Echeveria 'Compton Carousel' - Stunning Variegated Plant

The rosette heads can grow up to 25cm across if potted on before they lift upwards and offset. Flowers are tall growing, orange/pink/yellow and shepherd's crook in nature.

We water this plant well in the summer but it should be kept very dry and frost free in the winter months. See our care guide below for more watering tips.
