Echeveria Red Velvet | Rare

Echeveria Red Velvet is a sumptuously beautiful and rare collector's hybrid that captivates with her rich, velvety colouring and perfectly formed rosette. She forms a stunning rosette of thick, pointed leaves in deep olive-green to warm bronze, flushing to a rich, intense burgundy-red and deep crimson at the tips and edges in full sun — a luxurious, jewel-toned display that is as tactile as it is beautiful.

Her leaves have a soft, almost velvety texture that gives her an extraordinary depth of colour and a warm, plush appearance unlike any other Echeveria. Lush, dramatic and utterly luxurious — Echeveria Red Velvet is a rare and prized addition to any serious succulent collection!
