This Mexican Firecracker can make your landscape pop with color, especially when the dramatic red and yellow flowers appear, rising above the velvety, fuzzy gray-green foliage in spring and early summer! Native to Mexico, Echeveria setosa (botanical name) offers dramatic foliage color, so we like to plant them as the perfect addition to a rock garden. We love to grow them in pots or where they can be placed on a sunny patio or deck. Like all succulents, these are also an excellent choice for any low-water-use landscape. Echeveria flowers attract hummingbirds too, so get your binoculars and camera ready!
These evergreen succulents like to grow in a spot with partial to full sun exposure. Waterwise, Echeveria setosa is also drought tolerant once established, with little to moderate water needs. Anyone looking for an easy-to-grow plant that looks good all year will want to own this Mexican Firecracker. No green thumb is needed, pick up a few of these for your succulent garden today!
Mexican Firecracker plants are beautiful, compact, and can fit in any size yard. Perfect for rock gardens, they are also recommended for border edging and general use.
