Echeveria 'Giant Blue Curls' - We really don’t know much about this cultivar but when Longview Horticulture, the laboratory that was supplying us with Echeveria 'Blue Curls' told us they we no longer producing this plant but instead was able to supply ‘Giant Blue Curls, we decided to see what it is all about. Presumably it will be similar but larger. Echeveria 'Blue Curls' a beautiful old cultivar attributed either to attribute Frank Reinelt or Harry Butterfield that is a mostly solitary plant with rosettes to 10 inches wide with frilly edged blue-green leaves that take on showy pink hues in spring and fall and produces reddish-pink flowers well spaced along long stalks in summer. We can’t wait to see this bigger version! Plant in full sun to light shade in a well drained soil. Hardy to around 25°F. Image from Longview Horticulture.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
