A celebrated hybrid between Echeveria gibbiflora ‘Metallica’ and Echeveria elegans, this rosette succulent is admired for its pearlescent tones. Thick, spoon-shaped leaves are coated in a soft farina, blending shades of lavender, pink, and silver-grey. Developed in Germany in the 1930s, it remains one of the most popular decorative succulents worldwide.
