Rock Rose

Common Name: Rock Rose

Botanical Name: Echeveria 

Echeveria, often called Rock Rose, encompasses a large genus of flowering succulents known for their rosette shape and beautiful, symmetrical form. Native to semi-desert regions of Central America, Mexico, and South America, they are popular in rock and succulent gardens.

While not known for medicinal uses, Echeveria species are sometimes used in home remedies for minor ailments like burns, similar to other succulents like Aloe.

In beauty, Echeveria’s aesthetic appeal makes it a favorite in living arrangements and green decor rather than in beauty products.

An interesting fact about Echeveria is its ability to propagate easily from leaf cuttings, making it a favorite among plant enthusiasts who enjoy sharing plant starts with friends and family.
