I have seen this identical plant identified many times as an Echeveria (gilva), but I am pretty sure it is really this ‘species' (an Echeveria purpusorum hybridized with some species of Graptopetalum (probably amethystemum)). Fill a spring vase or three with the darling, profuse apricot-colored blooms of this delightful and admirably floriferous succulent that our breeding team developed to provide you with a fantastic flower show. These are, in general, hardier than Echeverias and certainly fast growing and easy to start from cuttings (leaf or stem).
