Though shrouded in mystery regarding its origin and breeder, this succulent has quickly earned accolades for its ease of cultivation, versatility, and unique aesthetic appeal.
Echeveria setosa 'Glitters' is a compact, clumping succulent that boasts rosettes of fleshy, lime-green leaves. Its rosettes are aesthetically symmetrical and exude a natural beauty that can elevate any space.

This succulent is ideal for both neophyte gardeners and seasoned horticulturists. It is especially valued for its hardy nature, able to withstand various growing conditions and forgiving of occasional neglect. Whether you intend to feature it in a rock garden, as a companion plant, or in an assorted succulent display, its adaptability makes it a prime choice for numerous applications.
