Echeveria 'Afterglow' — Large Lavender-Pink Rosettes
Echeveria 'Afterglow' is a large hybrid cultivar known for its broad lavender-pink rosettes and soft powdery bloom — a strong-selling retail variety thanks to its size and vivid pastel colour. SouthQuest Farm grows comparable purple-toned Echeveria hybrids in Yunnan, China.
About This Cultivar
'Afterglow' produces one of the larger rosettes among common hybrid Echeveria, reaching up to 30cm across at maturity. Its lavender-pink colouring, deepened by strong light, has made it a favourite for premium retail displays and landscape accent plantings alike.
Care Basics
- Light: Full, direct sun for most of the day to bring out the strongest lavender-pink tone
- Water: Soak-and-dry; larger rosettes have more moisture reserve than smaller cultivars
- Propagation: Leaf-pull and offsets, though slower to reach mature size
- Common issue: Colour dulling to green-grey in low light — this reverses with brighter conditions
💡 Sourcing note: Our 'Purple Joy' and 'Purple Butterfly' cultivars share a comparable lavender-pink tone, though at a different scale from true Afterglow's large rosette size. Share a reference photo and we'll confirm the closest match.
