Echeveria ‘Violet Queen’ is a fast growing and hardy rosette-forming, gray-leafed succulent which freely offsets to form a dense small mound or groundcover up to 12.5 cm tall with each rosette spreading up to 20 cm wide. The leaves are long and narrow and curve up slightly towards the tips to form an open lotus blossom shape. The leaves, especially the tips, take on a rose pink coloration in late fall and winter that is enhanced by cold evenings and even light frosts.
