Echeveria minima is a small, clumping succulent from northeastern Mexico with blue-green rosettes edged in pink that spread into low colonies. It is a popular collector's plant grown mainly for its foliage and spring yellow bell-shaped flowers.
Echeveria minima, the miniature (or mini) echeveria, is a species of succulent flowering plant in the stonecrop (sedum) family, Crassulaceae, native to northeastern Mexico. Among the many Echeveria species and cultivars, Echeveria minima, in particular, has rather small and diminutive, light-teal blue rosettes edged with pink leaf margins. The attractive "artichoke"-like rosettes eventually produce enough offsets that they grow into a small colony, forming a low mound. Echeveria minima readily produces yellow, bell-shaped flowers on vertical inflorescences in the spring. A highly collectible succulent, it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
