Highlights
Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' is a bold and sculptural succulent with a classic, agave-like rosette of rich, emerald green leaves that stay vibrant and unblushed year-round. Its pointed, glossy foliage forms a compact and tidy shape, ideal for modern planters, windowsills, or rock gardens. Unlike many other agavoides forms that develop red edges, this cultivar maintains a consistently deep green tone, giving it a refined, understated beauty. It thrives in full sun to bright indirect light with well-draining soil and minimal watering. With its clean lines and resilient nature, 'Dark Green' brings striking form and color to any succulent display.
Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.
