Echeveria Cubic Frost - Multi
Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a distinctive hybrid with thick, uplifted leaves arranged into unusual geometric rosettes. This multi-head form has developed multiple rosettes through natural offsetting, creating an attractive cluster while retaining the frosty blue-grey, lilac and lilac-pink colouring for which 'Cubic Frost' is known.
Multi-headed, clustering growth
'Cubic Frost' naturally produces offsets from around the base of established rosettes, gradually developing into increasingly full clusters. These multi-head plants have already begun this process, giving them a more established appearance than our single-head plants.
The number, size and arrangement of rosettes will naturally vary from plant to plant. As the offsets continue to develop, they can be left together to form a larger cluster or separated for propagation if desired.
Geometric lilac rosettes
The fleshy leaves are distinctly uplifted and develop an unusual angular form, with the centre of each leaf rising into a shallow V-shaped profile. This creates the sculptural, almost geometric appearance that makes 'Cubic Frost' readily recognisable.
Foliage ranges from frosty blue-grey and grey-green through to lilac, lilac-pink and soft purple according to season and growing conditions. A natural coating of powdery farina gives the leaves their characteristic frosted appearance and should be handled as little as possible to avoid marking the foliage.
The origins of Echeveria 'Cubic Frost'
'Cubic Frost' is a documented hybrid bred by Renee O'Connell in California from Echeveria 'Doppler' and a proprietary Echeveria identified as 'R-21'. The cross was made in 2011, with 'Cubic Frost' selected for its unusual uplifted foliage, geometric rosettes, attractive lilac colouring and freely offsetting growth.
Growing Echeveria 'Cubic Frost'
Grow in a free-draining succulent mix with plenty of bright light and good airflow. Good light helps maintain compact rosettes and attractive foliage colour. Morning sun with some protection from intense afternoon sun during very hot Australian summer conditions can help reduce the risk of scorching.
Water thoroughly when required, allowing the growing medium to dry appropriately between waterings. Avoid keeping the roots continuously wet, particularly during cooler periods. As multi-headed plants become increasingly dense, good airflow around and between the rosettes is beneficial.

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.
