Abstract

A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Galaxia’ is disclosed, characterized by compact, concentric rosettes comprised of blue-violet leaves with rose margins. Plants freely offset, enabling increased and faster propagation of the cultivar. Robust growth, in combination with the freely offsetting, results in clusters at an early age, enhancing production intervals, as well as creating an aesthetically superior product for the consumer. The new variety is an Echeveria , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants.
