Echeveria Asante Sana

This evergreen succulent forms compact rosettes of fleshy leaves that shift from blue-green to rich purple and red in Cape Town’s cooler months. It flowers in late spring to summer, producing delicate blooms on tall stalks. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, or sunny windowsills, it’s a waterwise choice that thrives in full sun to semi-shade. A striking, low-maintenance succulent that brings year-round colour and sculptural beauty to your garden or home.

Plant & Care

Plant in well-draining succulent soil and ensure good airflow around the rosettes. Water sparingly, only when the top layer of soil is dry, and reduce watering in winter. Position in full sun for best colour, though semi-shade is tolerated. Remove spent flower stalks to keep the plant neat and encourage new growth. Protect from frost during colder months.
