Echeveria Doris Taylor, often referred to as Woolly Rose, is a hybrid succulent created by crossing Echeveria pulvinata Ruby and Echeveria setosa. This beautiful cultivar was created in 1932 by Dr. W. Taylor, who named it after his wife.
The thick, fleshy leaves are spoon-shaped and covered with fine, glossy hairs. These can be found all over the plant, even on the flowers. The leaves are light green in colour and the tips turn red in direct sunlight. They can grow up to 9 cm long and 3 cm wide. The succulent has short stems and forms many lateral shoots. Over time, it grows into massive clumps up to 12.5 cm tall.
The bell-shaped flowers grow from spring to autumn on leafy stems. They also have whitish hairs and turn red, turning mainly yellow.
It does not like to be fertilised too much, as it could pull out unhealthily, but otherwise it is a fairly hardy plant. Echeveria Doris Taylor is an unpretentious succulent plant that is particularly striking due to its glossy hairs that cover the entire body of the plant.
