Echeveria Albert Bains

Echeveria Albert Bains is a rare and exquisite collector's hybrid that commands attention with her bold, architectural rosette and striking, jewel-toned colouring. She forms a beautifully structured rosette of thick, pointed leaves in rich blue-green to teal, flushed with deep violet, burgundy and warm copper tones that intensify dramatically in full sun — a truly spectacular display of colour and form.

Her leaves are smooth and waxy with a subtle sheen, and her strong, upright form gives her a sculptural presence that is both dramatic and elegant. Bold, architectural and utterly captivating — Albert Bains is a showstopper that brings serious collector appeal to any succulent display!
