Echeveria 'Fleur Blanc' is a very pale green, tightly rosette-shaped succulent with leaves that blush a pink hue around the margins. Courtesy of a very thick coating of powdery farina, the leaves have a nearly white, pearlescent cast, hence its common name! It is this unique coloration along with a compact mature size of 6 inches wide, which makes this variety an especially great addition to any temperate rock garden, planter arrangement, or even stand-alone specimen.

Echeveria 'Fleur Blanc' needs plenty of bright light, in order to retain its unique coloration and avoid etiolating, or stretching. Porous soil with adequate drainage is a must to prevent rot or pests, as is ensuring that water is poured directly onto the soil rather than into the rosettes themselves. Water only once the soil is thoroughly dry to the touch, and make sure the plant has ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface to avoid dampness issues. Furthermore, take care to protect these fleshy leaves from frost in colder months.

A contented ‘Fleur Blanc’ will send up bright orange to yellow blooms on stalks rising high above the rosettes.
