Echeveria 'Blue Surprise'
Echeveria 'Blue Surprise' is a beautiful hybrid succulent plant that is a cross between Echeveria Lilacina and Echeveria Elegans. Its unique features make it a favourite among succulent enthusiasts. This small, compact symmetrical rosette succulent has small fleshy spoon-shaped leaves that turn upwards. The plant has semi-transparent leaves that are usually blue in colour, but can turn into shades of lilac and pink, depending on the weather and watering conditions.
One of the most interesting things about Echeveria 'Blue Surprise' is its ability to change colours. Its leaves start off as a light blueish/grey to light purple, but with enough light, they can turn into a pale pink colour. This makes it a popular choice for people who want a plant that is constantly changing and evolving.
Echeveria 'Blue Surprise' prefers full sun or partial sun, making it perfect for outdoor gardens or indoor spaces with plenty of sunlight. It is a hardy plant that can withstand drought and heat, making it ideal for Australian climates. Its size is smaller than its parent, Echeveria Lilacina, and is similar in shape and size to Elegans, making it a great addition to small gardens or indoor spaces.
This succulent is also known as "Andrew's Choice" and is believed to have been given that name after going through tissue culture in Asia and returning to Australia. It is a popular hybrid in Asia, and its gradient colour of light blue and light purple leaves makes it a visually appealing plant to have.
In conclusion, Echeveria 'Blue Surprise' is a beautiful and unique succulent plant that is highly sought after by succulent enthusiasts. Its ability to change colours, hardiness, and compact size make it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces. With its gradient colour and symmetrical rosette shape, it is sure to add visual interest to any garden or room.

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.
