This succulent is known for its grey-mint colored leaves which form a tight rosette. When exposed to a moderate amount of stress, the leaves will take on a purple hue, which is what gives this plant its name. Its leaves are coated in a waxy farina, which helps to protect it from sun damage. If the conditions are right, you may get to witness pink flowers blooming from fall to spring.
