Description
Echeveria ‘Dark Vader’ is a striking succulent admired for its bold, dramatic coloration and perfectly sculpted rosette. Its thick, fleshy leaves develop deep shades of plum, charcoal, and dark burgundy—intensifying beautifully under bright light or mild stress. The strong contrast and matte finish give this variety a mysterious, almost galactic appearance, making it a favourite among rare-plant collectors.
This variety is known to originate from carefully selected cross-pollinated Echeveria lineage, ensuring superb form, rich pigment, and slow, compact growth. Each plant is nurtured in our Nilgiris greenhouse to achieve premium coloration before shipping.
A must-have centerpiece for any serious succulent collector. Limited availability at Succulent Gallery.
