Extraordinarily eye-catching, Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' is a small evergreen succulent forming crisp rosettes of fleshy, sharp-pointed, bright green leaves adorned with vibrant crimson margins. Reminiscent of an Agave, each leaf is tipped with a small spine (hence the name). This Echeveria produces offsets very freely, which hug the mother rosette, adding to its appeal. In the spring and early summer, a flowering spike bearing red flowers with yellow tips is on display. The more sun this Echeveria gets, the more conspicuous its red edges. A great choice for sunny gardens or containers.
