Design with this plant

Overview

The Ghost Echeveria (Echeveria lilacina) is a perennial succulent, prized for its rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves with a powdery lilac-gray hue. This plant typically spans 6 inches across and reaches a modest height of 5 inches. Its slow-growing, drought-tolerant nature makes it ideal for rock gardens or container displays. In late winter or early spring, it produces pink to coral flowers on arching inflorescences, adding a splash of color to any xeriscape.
