Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tender.Tight rosettes of gray leaves with red tips
Powdery sky-blue rosettes blushed with rosy pink form a beautiful pastel-hued, low-growing clump, perfect for containers or edging. This hybrid between Echeveria and Pachyphytum only grows to about 1’ tall, with short, semi-erect stems topped by dense 4-6” high and wide rosettes. The pink coloration is far more pronounced in full sun. Blooms in either Spring or Summer with 1-2’ tall flower spikes rising firmly from the rosettes and topped by a dense, arching cluster of showy, peachy-pink, outward facing, star-shaped blooms. Provide good drainage for a happy plant and protect from frost.
