Abstract

A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Cubic Frost’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric, geometric rosettes, comprised of many uplifted, slightly undulate, slightly tubular, lilac to lilac pink leaves. The new cultivar Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ exhibits robust growth, enabling shorter production intervals. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely offsetting, enhancing propagation intervals, as well as creating attractive clusters. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, further enhancing propagation in the commercial nursery. The new culitvar ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely flowering, producing a larger flower with an unusual shape. The new variety is an Echeveria , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum, Sedum, Crassula and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants or landscape plants. Currently, there is a growing use of Echeveria for artistic creations such as wedding bouquets, table centerpieces and other ornamental uses for social occasions.
