Echeveria 'Raindrops' A solitary plant that reaches at most 6 inches across with pale green rounded leaves with pale reddish margins and a single globular blue-green bump in the middle of each leaf toward the tip develops with age - young plants often do not exhibit this trait. These bumps, similar to a water droplet are what gives this unique plant its name. Plant in light shade in a well drained soil. Water occasionally Hardy to 25-30° F. A good plant for a small container. This Dick Wright hybrid is noted as being the smallest of the bumpy leafed cultivars. The cultivar name is sometimes listed as one word and elsewhere as 2 words. .  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.
