Echeveria derenbergii
Also called Derenberg's Painted Lady
Painted Lady (Echeveria derenbergii) is a small, evergreen Mexican succulent that forms a dense rosette of frosted, pointed leaves and produces offsets. It grows well in bright light with sharp drainage and minimal water.
Echeveria derenbergii, the painted-lady, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to eastern Oaxaca in Mexico.
Echeveria derenbergii is cultivated as an ornamental plant for rock gardens and as a potted plant. Like other species of Echeveria, it produces a colony of small offsets which can be separated from the parent plant.
In cooler temperate regions, it requires winter protection, as it does not tolerate temperatures below −7 °C (19 °F); but it may be placed outside in a sheltered spot during summer months. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
