Abstract

A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Galaxy Blue’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric rosettes comprised of an abundance of undulate, icy blue leaves tipped with crimson. Further, the new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ freely offsets, enabling increased and faster propagation in the commercial nursery. The new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ exhibits moderately fast, robust growth, which, in combination with freely offsetting results in attractive clusters at an early age, thereby enhancing production intervals. The new variety is an Echeveria , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Crassula, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants, as a variety of ornamental purposes.
