  • Absinthe‑green rosettes vividly “painted” with red along the margins and mid‑leaf for striking contrast.
  • Summer interest: coral‑pink and yellow, bell‑like flowers rise on slender stalks above the clump.
  • Space‑savvy habit—rosettes ~5 in. across; clumps mature to ~1–2 ft. tall and 2–3 ft. wide.
  • Waterwise, frost‑tender evergreen that thrives in full to partial sun, lean gritty soils, and infrequent watering.

Painted Echeveria (Echeveria nodulosa) delivers bold, hand‑brushed color and easy care in containers or bright indoor spots. Native to Mexico, this low, spreading succulent forms clumps of artfully marked rosettes and sends up airy summer bloom spikes in coral and yellow. Plant in a sharply drained, sandy mix; give cool morning sun to light shade in very hot regions; and let the soil dry between waterings for a long‑lived, low‑water accent with year‑round texture.


Plant Description

Evergreen, clumping succulent with branched stems bearing rosettes of absinthe‑green leaves boldly streaked and edged in red; airy summer inflorescences add height and seasonal color.

Foliage & Color

Leaves are olive to absinthe green with vivid red “painted” mid‑ribs and margins, creating graphic contrast that pops against neutral gravel or contemporary containers.

Flowers & Bloom Time

Coral‑pink and yellow bells appear in summer atop tall bracts, providing a vertical accent and a warm color echo to the foliage markings.

Habit & Size

Individual rosettes reach about 5 inches wide; mature clumps grow roughly 1–2 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide—ideal for container groupings or compact outdoor placements.

Sun & Exposure

Full sun to partial sun. In very hot summer regions, prioritize cool morning sun and provide light afternoon shade to avoid leaf scorch while preserving color intensity.

Water & Soil

Allow soil to dry between waterings. Use a lean, porous, fast‑draining mix (cactus/succulent blend with mineral grit). Avoid rich, moisture‑retentive soils and standing water.

Hardiness

Frost‑tender; grow outdoors in warm zones or as a bright‑light houseplant. Move containers indoors before frost and maintain dry to just‑moist soil in winter.

Special Features

Waterwise and easy‑care once established; tolerant of heat and periodic drought; generally non‑toxic to cats and dogs—great for patios and indoor displays.

Landscape Uses

Containers, windowsill collections, and low‑water plantings; pairs beautifully with Sempervivum, Sedum, Kalanchoe, blue fescue, and ice plant for layered texture and color.

Indoor & Container Tips

Provide very bright light (south or west exposure). Use pots with ample drainage; water deeply, then let the mix dry. Keep water off the rosette to prevent spotting and rot.

Care & Maintenance

Water regularly only during the first growing season to establish roots; thereafter, water sparingly. Avoid over‑fertilizing. Divide or refresh clumps every 2–3 years in early spring if needed.

Origins

Native to Mexico; selected in cultivation for its distinctive painted foliage and dependable performance in dry, sandy sites.
