Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' is a striking and popular succulent known for its bold color contrast and clean, symmetrical rosette shape. It features thick, pointed, fleshy green leaves with vivid red to deep crimson margins, giving it a “lipstick” effect that adds dramatic appeal. The agave-like shape of its leaves—sharp and triangular—is where the name agavoides originates.
This variety is ideal for container displays, sunny windowsills, and succulent gardens. When mature and happy, it may produce tall flower stalks with bright pink to red blooms and yellow interiors, attracting pollinators.
