Description
Echeveria 'Chroma' is a visually striking succulent with vibrant multi-colored foliage that ranges from shades of pink and purple to bronze and green, creating a dramatic focal point in any succulent arrangement. This cultivar is especially popular for its compact rosette shape and rich, metallic hues, which intensify with sun exposure. 'Chroma' is well-suited to pots, rock gardens, and as a low-maintenance accent in garden beds, adding an exotic touch to Perth landscapes.
Best grown in full sun to partial shade, 'Chroma' thrives in well-draining, sandy, or gritty soil and requires minimal water, making it ideal for dry conditions. This plant benefits from occasional feeding during the warmer months with a balanced succulent fertiliser. Flowering typically occurs in early summer (Birak), with small, bell-shaped flowers that add subtle charm without overwhelming the plant's striking foliage.
