Echeveria are attractive succulents, usually grown in Britain as houseplants, forming evergreen rosettes of fleshy leaves. There are many varieties and cultivars to choose from within the genus, from compact plants ideal for windowsill displays, to larger specimens better suited to growing in the conservatory or greenhouse. Echeverias flower in summer, but they are mostly grown for their foliage.

Echeveria 'Taurus' is a particularly striking cultivar, bearing almost triangular, deep red-green leaves, in compact rosettes. In summer red and yellow flowers appear on tall stems.

'Taurus' is well suited to growing in pots in well-drained compost, in a sunny position. It can be grown outside in summer, but must be brought indoors in autumn to survive winter.
