Echeveria elegans x 'Violet Queen' is an intriguing hybrid succulent that showcases the best characteristics of its parentage. Created by crossing the classic Echeveria elegans with the beautiful Echeveria ‘Violet Queen’, this captivating cultivar delivers a unique blend of form, colour and resilience. Its compact, symmetrical rosettes form low-growing mounds that can reach approximately 15cm in height, gradually clustering as it matures.
The leaves are thick, fleshy, and silvery-green, complemented by delicate hints of pink, deep reds, and occasional violet blushes when exposed to cooler temperatures or bright light. The foliage displays a slight powdery coating, providing a soft, frosted effect that intensifies the beauty of its colours. In spring and summer, Echeveria elegans x 'Violet Queen' sends up tall flower stalks adorned with bell-shaped blooms in shades of soft pink and pale yellow, adding a seasonal flourish to its appeal.
Adapted to the Australian climate, this robust hybrid is hardy down to roughly 0.5 °C and thrives in well-draining soil with infrequent watering. Its drought tolerance and resilience make it ideal for garden beds, rockeries, and green roofs, as well as decorative pots and indoor arrangements. Its natural ability to form clusters allows for easy propagation from leaves or offsets, making it an ideal choice for both novice and seasoned succulent enthusiasts.
With its captivating colours, graceful shape, and low-maintenance nature, Echeveria elegans x 'Violet Queen' is a timeless addition to any succulent collection. Its unique charm shines in a range of settings, offering year-round interest and beauty.
