Echeveria colorata is cultivated as an ornamental plant for rock gardens and as a potted plant.
In cooler temperate regions, it must be kept indoors for the winter, as it does not tolerate temperatures of −4 °C (25 °F) and below. Optimum growing temperature 23 °C to 25 °C. In Australia the summer temperatures can reach above 40 °C so protection will be required. Either move into a more shaded position or shade cloth covering of 70%.
Echeveria is named for Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator who contributed to Flora Mexicana. [4]
Colorata means 'colored'. [4]
