X Graptoveria 'Fred Ives'

One little plant grew into a monster in a year. Then the pot broke and the long stems broke too. Put the broken stems and even leaves in about ten pots and now I am overrun with this plant. Easy to grow and the long stems look good hanging out of a pot. I think I will try some in the ground next.

I'm told that it's a cross of a Graptopetalum and Echeveria species.

This is a very vigorous grower in the garden, and can take over an area if let alone. It makes the most beautiful, large rosettes of purplish yellow-orange to blue green (depending on time of year). I is super easy to propogate from cuttings, and not a single cutting I have made, no matter how carelessly, as failed to grow. In addition, it makes bulbils off its flower stalks that also grow quite vigorously. Don't know what it's a cross of (other than of course being a Graptopetalum and an Echeveria... as all Graptoverias are), but it's one of my favorite Crassulaceae.

This is a cross between Graptopetalum paraguayense and Echeveria gibbiflora
