📌 Product Description
Echeveria agavoides is a striking architectural succulent known for its bright green, pointed leaves edged with red margins. The firm, upright leaves form a tight, structured rosette reminiscent of a small agave, giving the plant a bold sculptural appearance.
In spring, mature plants produce slender red flower stems with small yellow to orange bell-shaped flowers. The red leaf margins intensify in full sun, enhancing its ornamental value.
A hardy, low-maintenance succulent ideal for decorative pots, succulent bowls, and water-wise South African gardens.
