- Cool-season color: salmon-red flowers appear in fall and winter for an unexpected seasonal show.

Black Prince Echeveria (Echeveria ‘Black Prince’) is a striking, low-water succulent prized for its dark, nearly black rosettes made up of fleshy, pointed leaves. This dramatic foliage brings instant contrast to mixed succulent plantings and rock gardens, and its compact size makes it ideal for bowls, troughs, and tabletop containers. Even better, it adds a burst of color when many plants are winding down—salmon-red flowers bloom in fall and winter, rising above the rosettes for a bold seasonal accent. Plant it in porous, fast-draining soil, give it bright light, and water only after the soil dries to enjoy an easy, modern statement plant indoors or out.

Indoor Growing (Houseplant Tips)
