Echeveria Madiba is a proudly South African named collector's succulent — a bold and beautiful hybrid rosette that carries a strength, warmth and resilience reflected in every aspect of her striking form. She displays thick, broad leaves in rich deep olive-green to bronze, dramatically edged in vivid pink that intensifies and glows magnificently with increased sun exposure.

Named in honour of the beloved Madiba, she is a deeply meaningful and eye-catching variety that brings warmth, depth and a proud South African spirit to any succulent collection. Her rich colouring with glowing pink edges becomes more vivid and spectacular with every season of full sun — strong, resilient and deeply beautiful, just like the name she carries!
