Wonderfully decorative evergreen succulent with fleshy, obovate leaves growing as a rosette. These rosettes can be up to 15cm wide, developing a beautiful purple sheen which grows in intensity in brighter light. Naturally it is grown for this lovely foliage, but this interesting plant can also produce panicules of pale red flowers.

Please note that the pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.


  • Home care:
    Echeverias are low-maintenance succulents that thrive with minimal attention, making them ideal for pots. For best results, plant them in a gritty, well-draining compost mix, ideally in an unglazed pot with generous drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

    When planting, only water if the soil is completely dry. Once established, water sparingly and only when needed, taking care to avoid getting water into the central rosette, as this can cause rot. Keep the plant in a warm, even environment and handle gently, as the leaves are delicate and easily damaged.
