Description

This succulent has wide, thick, powdery, pink lavender leaves with pink edges. Foliage comes to a point. The stem can grow 12"-16" wide rosettes, that may reach 12"-24" tall. During the summer, vertical stems arise with red orange flowers. Many people remove the flowers as it may detract from the foliage. This plant does best in full sun to appreciate the colored foliage but will survive in shade. It needs well draining soil. Looks great in containers. Occasional watering once it's established.
