Echeveria 'Compton Carousel'

'Compton Carousel' is a stunning variegated Echeveria, highly prized for its beautiful rosettes of green leaves edged with creamy-white. This slow-growing succulent reaches about 15cm in diameter, making it a showstopper in containers, specialist displays, or sheltered rockeries in the UK. It prefers bright light to maintain its vibrant variegation but needs protection from intense midday sun. Well-drained soil is crucial. Pinkish-orange flowers can emerge on short stalks in spring. Frost tender, it requires protection from cold temperatures, thriving as a conservatory or houseplant.
