A fast-growing and low-maintenance Echeveria that spreads quickly to form a mat of small, tight rosettes. Silvery light green to blue-green foliage takes on glowing purple hues on the underside of its cupped, recurved foliage in bright sunlight. Offsets freely to form a dense, mounding ground cover that reaches up to a foot wide. Blooms in spring and summer with arching spikes of soft pink flowers with yellow lips. Useful as a small-scale ground cover in rock and succulent gardens or added to container arrangements. Requires light shade to part sun in hot inland gardens. Plant in well-draining soil. Water occasionally and allow soil to dry out between waterings.
