Echeveria ‘Magic Red’

Description

Echeveria ‘Magic Red’

Echeveria ‘Magic Red’ is a striking succulent prized for its vibrant colouration and rosette form. This captivating cultivar features thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a symmetrical rosette pattern, typically reaching a diameter of 15-20 cm. The leaves exhibit a stunning gradient of colours, ranging from deep burgundy-red at the centre to softer pink hues towards the outer edges, often with a subtle blue-green undertone.

Under optimal conditions, particularly with strong light exposure, ‘Magic Red’ intensifies its colouration, living up to its magical name. In late spring to summer, it may produce tall flower stalks bearing small, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink to coral, adding to its ornamental value. The plant maintains its compact shape, rarely exceeding 10-15 cm in height, making it ideal for container gardens, rock gardens, or as a striking accent in succulent arrangements.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Echeveria ‘Magic Red’ requires well-draining soil and minimal watering. Its drought tolerance and low maintenance needs make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts seeking a pop of colour in their collections.
