Echeveria lilacina is a beautiful succulent plant characterized by fleshy leaves in shades of pink and purple, forming a dense rosette. Its delicate pastel leaf colors make it highly decorative and perfect for combining with other succulents and ornamental plants. The plant grows up to about 15 cm in height, with a spreading form that attracts attention in home collections, balconies, and rock gardens.
