For a striking and unusually colored succulent, have a look at the Black Prince Echeveria. This Echeveria affinis produces green leaves that darken to a mysterious sultry red-black with age. If that was not enough, it can also develop wonderfully contrasting red-orange flowers on tall stalks. This stunning hens and chicks plant is easy to look after.
Over time, the Black Prince Echeveria forms an open rosette up to around 6 inches across. It is suitable for growing outdoors as a perennial in zones 10 to 11 or can be brought inside to overwinter instead. Impressive heat and drought tolerance means that this succulent is tough and thrives on neglect. Grow it on its own in a pot or mix it with other succulents–the choice is yours.
Black Prince Echeveria Care
The Black Prince Echeveria needs full sun to thrive and produce the best foliage color. Well-drained soil is essential as it will struggle in a wet or soggy substrate. Water sparingly and only when the top inch or so of soil has dried out. Supplementary fertilizer is rarely necessary; however, a succulent feed can be applied sparingly in spring as required.
The Black Prince Echeveria is wonderfully low maintenance and needs little pruning. If the bottom leaves die back, simply pull them away and remove faded flower stems when necessary.
Black Prince Echeveria Spacing
When fully grown, the Black Prince Echeveria can reach around 6 inches tall and wide. Plant it in a pot slightly wider than its current size or use a spacing of 6 to 8 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
