Echeveria

Add natural shape and soft colour to your space with Echeveria, a compact succulent admired for its symmetrical rosette of thick, fleshy blue-green leaves. Its sculptural form makes it an attractive, low-maintenance choice for sunny windowsills, desks, shelves, balconies, and succulent arrangements.

Supplied in a 12 cm nursery pot, Echeveria stores water in its leaves and requires only occasional watering. Plenty of light and excellent drainage are essential for healthy, compact growth.
