Everyone loves these cheerful, versatile succulents.
Even if you’re not a fan of succulents, echeverias are sure to steal your heart!
With their pretty rosettes of blue-grey leaves, echeverias make a wonderful addition to any garden. They originate from Mexico and Central America, both of which experience harsh climatic conditions similar to certain parts of South Africa. Echeverias are easy to grow, drought tolerant, make a great statement when planted in large groups, work well as water-wise groundcovers and are perfect for pots. Apart from their striking foliage, they also bear small flowers on slender stems carried above the foliage.
