Exuding an understated elegance, Echeveria 'Hera' is a Korean hybrid succulent that thrives in the full sun and adds a touch of sophistication to any garden or home with its greyish-green leaves and alluring red margins. Its leaves are noticeably thicker and the rosettes smaller than those of its parent, Echeveria 'Afterglow', giving it a unique and captivating appearance.
This succulent forms on a stout, minimal stem and grows slowly, gradually developing offsets at its base to form a dense, visually appealing clump. What makes Echeveria 'Hera' even more striking is its adaptive nature; when subjected to stress, the leaves transform, taking on a breath-taking red hue that enhances its beauty further.
A testament to the genetic lineage of Echeveria purpusorum and Echeveria 'Afterglow', the 'Hera' variant isn't merely an aesthetic delight. Come spring, it turns into a vibrant, living bouquet, sprouting clusters of small, bell-shaped, pinkish-red flowers with delightful orange interiors.
With origins tracing back to the expert cultivators at Korean nursery Air Magic & Chang-Jo in 2011, Echeveria 'Hera' has since earned recognition for its resilience and adaptability, making it a great choice for Australian climates. Its manageable size and low-maintenance nature, combined with its enchanting aesthetic appeal, make Echeveria 'Hera' a cherished addition to any plant collection.
