Echeveria 'Violet Queen' is a striking succulent known for its vibrant purple and blue-grey hues. This hybrid variety features tight rosettes of fleshy, pointed leaves that transition into a deep violet or reddish tint when stressed by sun or cooler temperatures. The plant's leaves are thick and slightly waxy, giving them a powdery finish that adds to its beauty. Typically growing up to 6 inches in diameter, it thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil.
