Easy and lovely rosy lavender tinted gray foliage, displayed in 4-5" rosettes. Always beautiful, but especially when temperatures get cool in autumn.

Wonderful relative of hens & chicks with rounded leaves, pink and blue blushed with a powdery white dusting, in rosette form, to 6-8" and slowly clumping. Flowers are deep pink on the outside and yellow inside, born on foot long reddish stems. At least occasional moisture is required and good drainage, especially for winter survival. And, for best color, bright light indoors or out. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9, to about 20 F. A superb pot plant!
A hybrid of Echeveria gibbiflora v. metallica and Echeveria potosina. Justifiably popular. The 6.5" plants are lovely, larger, beginning specimen plants. A true classic. Georgious.
