Sedeveria 'Lilac Mist'

Image
Sedeveria  'Lilac Mist' is a charming succulent that forms dense rosettes of silvery blue (grey-green) leaves  from its thick covering of  powdery farina .   Exposure to  direct sun can bring out the color from pink  to violet blush. The rosettes can grow up to 4.4 inches (11 cm) in diameter, freely offsetting to form a compact clump.   It grows branching stems to about 4.0", each fully covered by chunky, sturdy leaves.   The chunky leaves are obovate, measure up to 2 inches (5 cm) long and 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) wide, and are not so easily detachable compared to many of its  Sedum  "cousins."   This intergeneric hybrid of  Sedum  x  Echeveria  created by Renee O'Connell in 2012. It is the product of a planned breeding program by Altman Plants in Vista, California, United States.
