Peacock Echeveria, Echeveria Desmentiana
Luminous, Echeveria peacockii (Peacock Echeveria) is an evergreen succulent with pretty rosettes, 6 in. wide (15 cm), packed with over 20 spoon-shaped, pointed, pale powdery blue-gray leaves adorned with red edges and tips when exposed to bright light. In summer, it sends up a 10 in. tall stem (25 cm) which bears lantern-shaped, coral to pinkish flowers. This Echeveria offsets readily and will form a dense carpet of rose-like rosettes over time. A great choice as a groundcover, for rock gardens, green roofs, or containers.
