Some sources also use the shortened name ‘Charlotte’. Its breeder, date of creation, and genealogy have not been reliably confirmed, so no specific parents are attributed to it. Its ornamental appeal lies in the rose-like shape of the rosette and the contrast between the green foliage and fuchsia pigmentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFamily:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Crassulaceae. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubfamily:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sempervivoideae. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTribe:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sedeae. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubtribe:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sedinae. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenus:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEcheveria\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e❄️ Temperature — USDA 9b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinimum temperature -1 C.
