Echeveria Hercules
Echeveria 'Hercules' is a stunning hybrid that is a must-have for any succulent enthusiast. It was created by Gert Ubink by crossing an Echeveria pulidonis cultivar with an Echeveria elegans cultivar in 2006 in Kudelstaart, Netherlands, resulting in a unique and attractive plant that has become popular among succulent collectors.
This small succulent plant forms rosettes of smooth, grey-green, densely packed leaves with pink to purple margins and tips. The leaves are fleshy, lance-shaped, and up to 2 cm long and 0.8 cm wide. The epicuticular wax coating on the leaves gives them a soft, pastel look. The leaf backside turns pinkish to purplish when exposed to drought or winter temperatures. In late spring and summer, the plant produces nodding bell-shaped yellow flowers on unbranched inflorescences that rise well above the rosettes.
Echeveria 'Hercules' is a relatively easy plant to care for and prefers well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight to thrive. It is often grown in containers or as part of a succulent garden and can be propagated by leaf or stem cuttings. This succulent plant is a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space, with its unique pink to purple leaf margins and its ability to form dense clumps. It is sure to add a touch of beauty and color to any setting.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
