Detailed Information

Echeveria ‘Rain Drops’ is a hybrid cultivar, meaning it was created through intentional breeding by humans. Therefore, it doesn’t have a single native region in the traditional sense.

However, **Echeveria species are native to semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico, and northwestern South America.** Because ‘Rain Drops’ is an Echeveria cultivar, its genetic heritage lies within those regions. The traits that give it its unique “raindrop” appearance likely come from specific Echeveria species within that area.

In summary:

* **Not a native plant:** It’s a human-created hybrid.
* **Based on plants native to:** Central America, Mexico, and northwestern South America.
* **Likely origin of hybridisation:** California, USA, where many Echeveria hybrids are developed.
