Description:
Graptopetalum bellum is a unique succulent native to northern Mexico, known for its striking rosettes and vibrant flowers. This perennial thrives in rocky terrains with moderate sun exposure and forms clusters slowly. Its rosettes can reach up to 4 inches in diameter, with leaves that are smooth and triangular, displaying shades of gray or bronze. From May to July, it produces deep pink to red flowers, adding a splash of color to its surroundings. Unlike many succulents, it prefers more shade and requires well-draining, light soil. It can withstand brief cold spells down to 5°F if kept dry. This plant is recognized with the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, highlighting its ornamental value. It is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for succulent enthusiasts.
