Echeveria Tesla is a striking collector's succulent that commands attention with her bold, dramatic colouring. Her open rosette of deep, dark green leaves is edged in a vivid, clean red — a high-contrast combination that gives her an almost architectural quality and makes her an instant focal point in any succulent display.

She is a plant of quiet confidence — her open rosette form is elegant and structured, and her dark green colouring deepens beautifully in good light, with the red edges intensifying to create a stunning contrast. Easy to grow and wonderfully rewarding, Echeveria Tesla is a must-have for any serious succulent collector.
