Plant in full coastal sun to bright shade or under glass and as with Echeveria cante and its other offspring, it is best to avoid damaging the white waxy coating by touching it or by overhead watering. Hardy to around 25° F.

The genus Echeveria is a member of the large Crassula family (Crassulaceae), which has about 1,400 species in 33 genera with worldwide distribution. Echeveria, with approximately 180 species, are native to mid to higher elevations in the Americas with the main distribution in Mexico and central America but with one species found from as far north as southern Texas and several species occurring as far south as Bolivia, Peru and possibly Argentina. The name for the genus honors the Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy in 1828 by the French botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (DeCandolle) who was very impressed with Echeverría's drawings. Echeverría had accompanied the the Sessé and Mociño expedition (led by Martin de Sessé y Lacasta and Mariano Mociño Suárez de Figueroa) while exploring Mexico and northern Central America and had produced thousands of botanical illustrations. The book The genus Echeveria by John Pilbeam (published by the British Cactus and Succulent Society, 2008) is an excellent source of information on the species and Echeveria Cultivars by Lorraine Schulz (AKA Rudolf Schulz) and Attila Kapitany (Schulz Publishing, 2005) has beautiful photos and great information on the cultivars and hybrids. It has been argued by some that the correct pronunciation for the genus is ek-e-ve'-ri-a, though ech-e-ver'-i-a seems in more prevalent use in the US.

Echeveria 'Domingo' is a Dick Wright hybrid between Echeveria runyonii and Echeveria cante (was called E. subrigida when cross was made) was reportedly named Domingo, the Spanish word for Sunday, in reference to its white coloration and clean formal shape. Dick Wright of De Luz, California (north San Diego County), hybridized many showy Echeveria hybrids from 1958 until 1985, when his nursery was destroyed by the devastating Camp Pendleton Firestorm. Our plants produced in the Longview Horticulture micropropagation laboratory (tissue culture) in Australia. We grew and sold this nice plant from 2009 until 2013. 

This information about Echeveria 'Domingo' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
