Pretty pink blooms, superb cold tolerance & lovely, very symmetrical rosettes make this species a covetable one. I feel compelled to find this small plant a little place in a little pot where I can fawn over it... right next to Echeveria peacockii, Eriogonum ovalifolium & Calceolaria cana. I can’t help it! It’s cute. Really, very cute. Grows to 3” high & 12” wide. VERY drought tolerant, but it doesn’t approve of too much wetness, so if you water frequently, be sure you give it excellent drainage. It’s also Winter deciduous - don’t be alarmed when it suddenly goes *poof* but all the better to mind it somewhere safe. Like a rockery, or a cute pot, or a scree bed... you get the idea. From the Himalayas.
