Echeveria elegans is a tight rosette-forming gray-leafed succulent which freely offsets to form a dense small mound or groundcover up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and spreading up to 12 inches (30 cm). Silvery rosettes are crowned by arching stems in winter and spring, each with a bright pink lantern shaped flower, tipped in yellow.
