Abstract

A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Colorshift’ is disclosed, characterized by unique “colorshifts” of the rosette, dependent upon ambient conditions caused by seasonal changes, not observed in comparable Echeverias. The new variety exhibits variability of rosette color that can include violet, silvered mauve, silvered aqua and their intermediate colors. The cultivar ‘Colorshift’ also exhibits light margin colors, strongly accenting the multi-hued violet rosette. In addition, the new cultivar ‘Colorshift’ produces a display of bright, vermillion flowers, accenting the violet rosette, a contrast not exhibited by comparable Echeveria varieties. The new variety exhibits a robust growth habit, enabling faster production, than most comparable Echeveria varieties.
