Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'

Rosettes of long, lance-shaped leaves in pastel tones of blue, purple, and green typify Pachyveria ‘Blue Mist,’ which earns its name from the thick coating of powdery farina that lends the plant a soft, air brushed look. Reaching up to 4 inches in diameter at maturity, this variety will send up summertime stalks of bright, coral-hued blooms, which perfectly contrast the delicate shades of the rosettes.

Ease of care and maintenance is a hallmark of this charming succulent hybrid, which is a cross between a Pachyphytum and an Echeveria. Porous, low organic matter soils are not only no issue for ‘Blue Mist,’ but are actually its preference! As such, be sure to utilize a cactus soil mix high in inorganic matter, such as perlite or pumice, within a well-draining pot to avoid moisture accumulation. A thorough yet infrequent watering routine will further shield against this potential problem, and bright sunlight will provide all the rest that ‘Blue Mist’ needs to grow, bloom, and thrive.

Hardy to Zone 9, this specimen can survive a light frost, but prefers more temperate conditions whenever possible.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
