This is a striking species in the landscape, being nearly white. It is a larger Echeveria, about 6-7" across. I have several planted in the yard in various locations, though all in a lot of sun, and they are quite easy plants in this climate (zone 9b-10a) with no attempts to rot themselves, even in high watering zones. Flowers are arching, but relatively low (6") compared to many other Echeverias, and pale pink to pale orange in later winter/early spring.
