Echeveria Gilva Cristata

 Echeveria Gilva Cristata – A Sculptural Crested Succulent with Iridescent Charm

Echeveria Gilva cristata, also known as Crested Gilva or Crested Grape Echeveria, is an extraordinary succulent prized for its dramatic form and mesmerizing texture. A crested mutation of the Echeveria Gilva species, this plant forms dense, undulating fans of thick, fleshy leaves that twist and fold into captivating, wave-like patterns.

Its foliage ranges from soft bluish-green to grayish-green with a subtle iridescence, developing delicate pink margins as the plant matures—especially when exposed to bright morning sun. The combination of sculptural growth and shifting color makes this crested succulent a true conversation piece and a prized addition for collectors.

Compact yet visually bold, Echeveria Gilva cristata is ideal for decorative containers, rock gardens, and focal points in mixed succulent arrangements. Its unusual, contorted growth adds artistic interest to any setting, standing out in both indoor and outdoor displays.

Belonging to the Echeveria agavoides group, this variety is slow-growing and thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of light and minimal water—making it a low-maintenance yet high-impact choice.

A must-have for succulent enthusiasts, Echeveria Gilva cristata is more than a plant—it’s living sculpture. Perfect for collectors looking to add rare, visually complex forms to their display.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
