Previously labelled x Pachyveria 'Kobayashi'. A hybrid of Pachyphytum oviferum x Echeveria cante.
A really great specimen with attractive silver colouration and a lovely form with slender pointed leaves. A genius hybrid of two stunning species, taking advantage of the large cante leaves and adding dimension and texture by combining it with oviferum. In late spring, it blooms with large stems creating an array of beautiful orange and pink Pachyphytum flowers.
