Graptoveria 'Avant-garde' is a stunning succulent hybrid created by Korean plant breeders Changjo and Air Magic. It is a cross between Graptopetalum amethystinum (Lavender Pebbles) and uncertain Echeveria species, resulting in chubby coral-red leaves that can fade to apricot-orange over time.
One of the most striking features of this succulent is its foliage coloration, which can become an intense pink when exposed to cooler temperatures or grown in bright, sunny locations. However, to maintain its vibrant colors, 'Avant-garde' needs to be grown hard in full sun, with minimal water once its roots are established.
This fast-growing succulent is drought-tolerant and can thrive in poor soil, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. It produces showy flowers that are under 1cm in size and is a perennial plant that can be propagated from stem or leaf cuttings.
'Avant-garde' is a great choice for xeriscaping or as a statement plant in a garden bed. Its hardy nature and ability to tolerate full sun make it perfect for Australian conditions. It is also suitable for hanging baskets and other containers.
Overall, Graptoveria 'Avant-garde' is a sought-after succulent that is perfect for adding color and texture to your garden or indoor space. With its unusual foliage color, low-maintenance requirements, and hardy nature, it is sure to be a standout addition to any collection.

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.
Pickup is available in Seville, Yarra Valley VIC by appointment. Order online as normal and any shipping charge will be automatically refunded after collection, unless you would prefer to receive an additional plant of similar value instead.

Such a cute plant. I have harvested some leaves to propagate. It arrives with fuller leaves. It has pups growing as well. Thank you JNsucculents.
So happy with order - as always, carefully packed and so healthy… a nice splash of colour in chosen succulents… hard to pick a favourite l!
Just showing you another way I have planted some of my succulents.
Have added this one to a pot of others they are starting to show more colour,and another perfect plant from John and Normas , thank you so much.
A very healthy plant and I can see the colour coming into it already
Store owner replied: You are getting a collection going of these! Remember avant garde needs to be grown slow in bright light to produce the best colour and form. So give it only just enough food if any, to keep it healthy no more. A gritty mix helps and a longer dry spell between watering. Summer will reveal the deepest colours. Enjoy the metamorphosis!
I am thinking I might have received the wrong plant here, if you can let me know…I didnt think it would grow like this
Store owner replied: This is definitely a Graptoveria Avant Garde, Irene. It has a clustering habit, like it's parent Lavender Pebbles and the colour is completely unique. It is quite unmistakeable when you get to know it.
Arrived yesterday. All plants healthy. Very pleased with the way they were wrapped. Thanks for the gift. Much appreciated. Certainly will recommend you to other growers. Liked the information sheets. First time I received anything like that with an order. Thanks.
Store owner replied: Our pleasure. Thanks so much!
Gosh I was so extremely happy with the size of this succulent! I bought others also and they are all beautiful and so healthy. Never once have I been disappointed with anything I’ve ever received from John & Norma’s Succulents. Definitely 5 stars 🌟 💖
Size was huge! Can't wait till it turns more red! Thank-you for all the healthy plants. J&N never disappoints
It looks lovely in my pot. Thanks you, John.
Super healthy! Can't wait to see her new face in autumn!!!
I had to check and recheck this was the same plant, it was the one I was the most excited about because it was big and pink but it doesn’t look anything like the picture. Hoping the colour will change with the season
Store owner replied: Hi Christie, The pink one is a display photo only, to show you the colour of this plant in summer. Being winter yours is more green. You need to grow it hard in bright light for it to turn pink. Hope this helps. Regards, John
Graptoveria Avant garde. I love with their colour. She is healthy and all good condition because they really take carefully when put inside the package. Thanks, Amelia
This beauty only came today, was a but worried it may not make it but it arrived healthy
Store owner replied: Yes, a bit touch and go with delivery times before Christmas! Some of our customesrs had their deliveries delayed for up to 2 weeks. Fortunately succulents are very resilient. As long as they are dried and packed properly they can last many weeks in the mail. Especially the chubbie ones like yours.
