Beautiful Graptopetalum, Graptopetalum superbum, Graptopetalum pentandrum ssp. superbum
Graptopetalum ‘Superbum’ (Beautiful Graptopetalum) is a small evergreen succulent forming compact, open rosettes, 5 in. wide (12 cm), of fleshy, pointed, gray to lavender-pink leaves. The small rosettes grow at the tips of ever-lengthening stems, that become pendant over time and cascade beautifully. In spring, it produces dainty sprays of star-shaped pale yellow flowers with red markings on their tips. Vigorous and prolific, Beautiful Graptopetalum will eventually create a low spreading colony. A very attractive plant for groundcovers, in hanging baskets, containers or for spilling over walls.
