Echeveria

Succulent that can take a beating is the Echeveria. The fleshy, rosette-shaped leaves come in beautiful basic shades from grey-green to lilac. This makes it the finishing touch to any interior! It is also a very clever plant and has adapted to its homeland of Mexico. This is where the Echeveria was discovered in the 19th century by Antansio Echeveria, to whom the plant owes its name. During the growing season, they store water and a powdery layer protects them against fierce sunshine. Its tough character stands for perseverance.
