The parent plants are Graptopetalum paraguayense ssp. paraguayense x G. superbum This hybrid can easily be confused with Graptopetalum ‘Victor Kane' aka 'Frank Reinelt'.The difference is that the red markings on the petals of ‘Purple Haze’ are less pronounced and thinner and the leaves are slightly glossy. They produce stemless, clump-forming rosettes with thick leaves if receiving enough sun. Soil needs to have good drainage. Tender soft succulent - will not tolerate frost.

Graptopetalum Purple Haze

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

They can be propagated easily by separating offsets, but also by leaf cuttings, and by seed if they are not hybrids. Succulents need a warm, sunny well-drained position to develop their foliage colour. Most succulents will be grown in containers and pots and they will need good drainage. Add coarse grit to soil-less compost and repot every year in late-spring. Don't worry about damaging the roots when re-potting: these plants tolerate disturbance well.

Flowering

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes
