Echeveria Orion

Echeveria ‘Orion’ is an elegant hybrid succulent admired for its perfectly symmetrical rosettes and cool, refined colouring. Its thick, fleshy leaves display soft shades of silvery blue to grey-green, often finished with subtle pink or red edging when grown in bright light or cooler conditions. In spring to early summer, slender arching stems emerge, carrying vibrant orange to coral-pink flowers that create a striking contrast against the muted foliage.

Compact and visually striking, Echeveria ‘Orion’ is ideal for pots, rock gardens, and mixed succulent arrangements. Its tidy growth habit and sculptural form make it a favourite among collectors and succulent enthusiasts.
