Echeveria Etna - A Bumpy Leafed Echeveria
Echeveria Etna – A Bumpy Leafed Echeveria

All Echeveria species and cultivgars  will vary in leaf colour depending on the season and the amount of sun that they receive.

In many cases leaf colour can vary from green to pinks and red depending on season and position.

With hundreds of different types available we look at some of the best species and cultivars for you to grow at home.

Lots of hybrids are available, such the well known  E. agavoides ‘Prolifera’ X E. colorata, Echeveria ‘Frank Reinelt’.

Many cultivars do look similar and identification can be difficult, we hope the images below assist with determining which Echeveria is which.

If you are wondering what those Echeveria are with bumps on their leaves, the big frilly ones with amazing colour, they are mostly Echeveria gibbiflora hybrids.

From Mexico, this is a species that grows in rocky ground in the hills and mountain areas. Here this amazing plant receives perfect drainage, good airflow and hence low humidity, as well as good sun, however usually shelter from the heat of the hot afternoon sun.

So Echeveria gibbiflora which is a ruffled species, is responsible for many of the fascinating hybrids that we see today and those bumps are called carunculations. So we have Echeveria gibbiflora var. ‘Carunculata’, and this comes in many named forms.
