Pachyphytum or Pachyveria id please

Post by KeithG »

When I bought this it was tagged as Pachyphytum something or other but I've lost the label. However, I'm now wondering if it may be a Pachyveria. It's a bit of an ask I know but here are a few snaps..............

This looks very much like a plant I bought at a garden centre a couple of years ago. It was labelled Pachyphytum Dark Red, clearly a false name. I think I have subsequently identified it as this plant:

Pachyveria 'Blue Mist' is the name most commonly used for it on most sites although the ICN site has it down as a Sedeveria.

A photo of my plant for comparison. It survived last winter outside on my patio in a container so it's fairly hardy.

'Dark Red' rings a bell! So Pachyveria 'Blue Mist' it may well be. Thank you (tu)

To be honest it has suffered a summer of abuse as it ended up behind my pots of Ismene and Hedychium. I only discovered it the other day when I moved the Ismene into the greenhouse to dry out for the winter.
