Beautiful succulent of the typical rosette-shape with fleshy long leaves, lanceolate and strongly pointed. The margins of the foliage are weakly jagged, but the real main feature is its colouration: the epidermis owns a beautiful dark green color, on which prevail, the numerous silvery-whitish spots that give the name "Quicksilver" to this plant. It means"real silver". In spring, its charm, due to the cold colors, creates a wonderful contrast with the bright orange-red flowers that bloom at the apex of long stems.
