What is the plant

‘Silver Star’ is a Graptopetalum and Echeverial hybrid. Its long, silver-green leaves can be tipped with red when “happily stressed.” This succulent grows pink and white flowers in the spring.

Graptoveria ‘Silver Star’ is a hybrid between Graptopetalum filiferum and Echeveria agavoides var. multifida. It is a beautiful succulent plant, up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall and in diameter, that produces low growing offsetting clumps of rosettes with hair-like tips bright red in full sun. Long, rosy-pink tips accent the compact silvery-green leaves, forming beautiful, exotic plants. The rules for Graptopetalums care are similar to those for most succulents.
