Echeveria 'Violet Queen'

Echeveria 'Violet Queen'
It is the time of year when the succulent Echeverias come into their own and produce their most intense colours. None better and more easier to grow than this little Edward Orpet hybrid. When subjected to cold nights and even light frost, the leaves turn hot pink along the tips and this is a perfect foil to the powdery ice blue inner leaf colour. This variety clumps up fairly quickly with the central rosette growing to about 10cm. Ideal for container growing or edging garden beds.
