Pachyveria 'Glauca', a hybrid of Pachyphytum hookeri or compactum and an Echeveria species, forms tapered cylindrical leaves of dusky powdery blue with reddish tints at the tips and some violet tones. In late winter, melon-colored flowers appear on arching racemes. Forms very structural spiky rosette that is great for dish gardens and rock gardens, both for its unusual color and shape. Protect from frost to prevent scarring.
