Echeveria ‘Summer’ is a compact, rosette-forming succulent with smooth, pastel-toned leaves and a tidy growth habit. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and likely originates from hybrid breeding based on sun-loving species native to Mexico. The rosettes grow low to the ground and typically reach about 4 to 6 inches across, forming a symmetrical shape with slightly pointed, upward-arching leaves. Depending on the light exposure, the foliage may range from blue-green to soft pink, with a light powdery coating (farina) that gives it a muted, silvery finish.

This variety responds well to full sun or very bright indirect light. Exposure to direct morning sun encourages more compact growth and brings out its subtle color variations, while too little light can lead to stretching and loss of form. During the warmer months, mature plants may produce tall, slender stalks bearing small, bell-shaped flowers in pink or orange tones. The flowers add a seasonal accent, but the plant is typically grown for its foliage.![]()
With its soft coloring and small size, Echeveria ‘Summer’ works well in containers, succulent bowls, or paired with darker or more textured varieties for contrast. It remains easy to care for when grown in well-draining soil, watered properly, and kept in a spot with consistent light. The rosettes stay neat over time and may slowly produce offsets, forming small clumps when left undisturbed. -
