Graptopetalum superbum (Acevedo-Rosas): A stunning blush to lavender rosette that, true to its Latin name, is quite superb. The foliage has a powdery coating of farina (epicuticular wax). This lovely species is native to Jalisco, Mexico and can grow to 5.0" in diameter. It has a flattened, open rosette form and usually blooms in early spring with pale yellow flowers dotted with red. Graptopetalum need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
