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 were no longer producing this plant but instead were 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 Frank Reinelt or Harry Butterfield, 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. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil. Hardy to around 25°F. Image from Longview Horticulture.
The information about Echeveria 'Giant Blue Curls' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
