Echeveria 'Dark Rose'

Echeveria 'Dark Rose' is a striking succulent that captivates with its deep, moody tones of dusky purple, burgundy, and rose layered across tightly packed, symmetrical rosettes. The fleshy, pointed leaves develop richer coloration in bright sunlight, creating a dramatic contrast against lighter-hued succulents in mixed arrangements or as a standout centerpiece in containers. Its elegant form and velvety texture make it an eye-catching addition to any collection. Like most Echeverias, 'Dark Rose' prefers well-draining soil, plenty of sunlight, and infrequent watering, making it a low-maintenance yet high-impact choice for both indoor and outdoor displays. Fully rooted in a 2" pot.

Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our for more information.
