Description

Graptopetalum pachyphyllum is a low growing, perennial, succulent herb, branched at the base and with sprawling stems up to 8 inches (20 cm) long. The ovate, glaucous, blue-green leaves tipped with red are massed in small rosettes at the tip of each stem. This plant is much like a very dwarf Sedum pachyphyllum, with densely arranged leaves. Flowers are also beautiful, white-green banded in dark red.
