Echeveria ‘Red Peppers’ is an eye-catching Korean hybrid bred from the popular Echeveria ebony. Compact and rosette-forming, this succulent is distinguished by its fleshy, tightly packed leaves that display a dramatic contrast of colour—apple-green to peach centres blending into deep red tips. With sufficient sunlight, the red intensifies, creating a bold “pepper-like” glow that has made this cultivar highly sought after by collectors and gardeners alike.
Growing to around 15 cm in height and 5 cm across, Echeveria ‘Red Peppers’ remains neatly proportioned, making it ideal for small pots, mixed succulent bowls, or as a highlight in rockeries. Its compact size and striking tones allow it to stand out whether displayed individually or grouped with other contrasting succulents.
This hybrid thrives under bright, direct to filtered sunlight, which enhances its colouring and maintains its tight rosette form. Too little light will cause the plant to stretch and lose its intensity of colour. Like most echeverias, it prefers a free-draining, gritty soil mix and benefits from a “soak and dry” watering regime—watering thoroughly, then allowing the soil to dry completely before watering again. Overwatering should be avoided, particularly in the cooler months when growth slows.
Well suited to Australian conditions, Echeveria ‘Red Peppers’ demonstrates good drought tolerance once established and requires little ongoing care. It can also be grown successfully indoors on a bright windowsill, provided it receives several hours of strong light each day. Its fiery tones make it a natural focal point in any succulent arrangement, adding both warmth and structure to container gardens, patios, or interior spaces. With the right care, this Korean-bred hybrid will provide year-round colour and enduring appeal.
