Echeveria 'Lady Aquarius'

What is the plant

Echeveria 'Lady Aquarius' is an evergreen succulent with large rosettes up to 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter, of ruffled, soft blue leaves, adorned with pink edges. Depending on the time of year and sun exposure, the color of this Echeveria will vary.

Echeveria is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico and northwestern South America. Plants may be evergreen or deciduous. Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes. Often numerous offsets are produced, and are commonly known as "hen and chicks", which can also refer to other genera, such as Sempervivum, that are significantly different from Echeveria. Echeveria is named for Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator who contributed to Flora Mexicana.
