Echeveria 'Afterglow': A Large, Powdery Lavender-Pink Rosette for Dramatic Containers

Echeveria 'Afterglow' is a spectacular, large rosette succulent with broad, spoon-shaped leaves that are a stunning powdery lavender-pink with brighter pink edges. The rosette can reach 12–16 inches across. It offsets slowly. In summer, it sends up a tall spike of orange-red bell-shaped flowers. A hybrid of E. shaviana and E. cante, it’s one of the most prized echeverias for its size and ethereal color.
