Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ is a radiant pearl, or "perle," of all-time elegance, often described as one of the most beautiful succulents ever to be introduced. An amazing abundance of shiny hybrids have followed since ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ arrived in the 1930s, but there’s a reason why this medium-size beauty is an all-time favorite of succulent enthusiasts. Out-of-this-world pruinose purple-pink highlights pop from the powdery pale grayish-brown backdrop. Gracefully arching spikes of delicate coral flowers appear during spring months. Excellent for windowsill culture or as color accent in rock garden or dish garden.
