Echeveria 'Afterglow'

succulent

Echeveria Afterglow is a large, striking hybrid succulent with broad leaves in shades of rose, pink, and coral that glow intensely in direct sunlight. Growing 6–8 inches tall and 12 inches in diameter, it forms impressive rosettes that produce tall inflorescences of coral-red flowers in spring and summer. This robust cultivar is more cold-tolerant than many Echeveria hybrids and adds dramatic color to succulent gardens.
