Anyone grow these outside or under cold glass? Back in the 1980s I had one surviving bone dry all winter under unheated glass. No idea which species, it was a house plant out of Asda.  ;D    I have seen huge tubs of them growing outside at Hari Hari on the west coast of NZ, but that's a pretty favoured spot as far as winter temps go. It is phenomenally wet though.

Neil:
Used to under glass, bone dry through the winter also managed to keep some outside going even with frost and snow on them.  Haven't got a clue what ones they were and I do live on right the South Coast of England.

Brian Ellis:
Just to prove I do read what you say sir, here is a photo of one which sat outside the back door all last winter with no protection at all.  As you can see it is not a terribly good specimen, but it did reach flowering and I will put it under glass for the winter this year!

Cris:
Hi

Another genus I like much, and this one I'm going to show you is one of the hardiest Echeveria I ever known.

Echeveria 'Mandala'

Peter II:

I would say that this is a Greenovia hybrids. This is not a Echeveria.
