Echeveria ‘Volcano’ – A Fiery Burst of Color in Compact Form
Looking for “echeveria volcano for sale” in Australia? Meet Echeveria ‘Volcano’ – a jaw-dropping hybrid with flame-red, orange, and golden leaves edged in near-black tips. This compact rosette succulent erupts with color under Australian sun, making it a must-have for succulent bowls, rock gardens, indoor displays, and wedding arrangements in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
Unlike standard green echeverias, Volcano intensifies in color with stress (sun/cold) – turning lava-red in full morning light. Its powdery farinose coating gives a velvety matte finish, while the tight 10–15cm rosette stays perfectly sized for small spaces.
