Sedeveria 'Letizia' is a captivating intergeneric hybrid succulent resulting from a cross between Sedum cuspidatum and Echeveria setosa var. ciliata. Named in honor of Letizia Alleruzzo, this hybrid was formally recognized by Jean-Michel Moullec in 2006. Originating from western Chiapas and eastern Oaxaca, Sedeveria 'Letizia' showcases its unique heritage with a charming blend of features from both parent plants.
This petite succulent typically grows up to 20 cm tall, forming a cluster of branching stems. At the end of each stem is a rosette of deltoid leaves, which can reach up to 6 cm in diameter. The leaves are green with fine hairs along the margins and keel, turning red at the edges when exposed to full sun, creating a striking visual appeal. In spring, Sedeveria 'Letizia' produces inflorescences that rise from the rosettes, bearing white flowers in distinctive scorpioid clusters.
Sedeveria 'Letizia' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for gardens in sunny spots that might be too harsh for other plants. This succulent is well-suited to Australian hardiness zones 9 to 11, tolerating temperatures down to -6.7°C. It's an ideal candidate for rock gardens, containers, or even as a unique addition to indoor plant collections.
This resilient plant requires minimal care, thriving in both optimal and less hospitable conditions. Propagation is straightforward: for shorter varieties, simply lay the plant on the soil and let it root, while taller varieties can be propagated by planting a broken stem directly into the ground. Whether you are an experienced gardener or a novice, Sedeveria 'Letizia' is a delightful and low-maintenance addition to any succulent collection.
