Pachysedum 'Ganzhou'

Pleasant succulent does not present in nature, but obtained in the nursery from the crossing of even different genera, probably between Pachyphytum viride and Sedum craigii (hence the name of the entire genus, nice nominal union of the two parents). It is a pleasant succulent arranged in a soft rosette and tending to grow slightly upwards while maintaining a small size. Its leaves are digitiform, cylindrical and strongly fleshy, they grow slightly curving and turning upwards. One of the most iconic characters of Pachysedum, however, is certainly the color: its epidermis is tinged with a peculiar very intense pinkish hue, often tending to purple or bluish depending on the season and sun exposure. The delicate aspect of the plant is accentuated by a sort of whitish plum that completely covers it to protect it from atmospheric agents. Pachysedum 'Ganzhou' is even more refined and elegant when, at the apex of long stems, wonderful clusters of small apricot flowers bloom, which create a striking contrast with the plant highlighting it even more!
