Great succulent! My soil is very clay-like, yet it grows amazingly well in both part shade and sun. We experienced low temperatures in the high 20's and low 30's in January, yet it is thriving. It transplants well, too.

Attractive very fuzzy-leaved plant that is perfect for pots- tends to branch and hang down over pot- leaves 3-4" long and tapered with a silvery fuzz giving the leaves a blue-green color. Rosettes open. Easy to grow.
