Lovely red flowers - which match Sedeveria ‘Blue Mist’ - what do you think @Soph1e? I think we debated this one earlier in the year #succulent #succulentflowers #sedeveria #xsedeveria #sedeveriabluemist #xsedeveriabluemist

Yes, I agree. Have long since thought this plant is Sedeveria Blue Mist. Beautiful flowers! Doesn't it annoy you when supplier sell plants under made up names..! 😒

Thanks @Yollymac - certainly can confuse things but sometimes there are benefits. This one not so much, but occasionally you get plants registered in non-English names (German for instance) so they give them a separate marketing name in English to help sales in other countries. You'd also be amazed how many roses are registered with just codes with no marketing name yet as they are waiting for the next special event eg A new royal baby or prince or princess to be named 😳

I think that this could be a 'Blue Mist' @richard.spicer.7906. Beautiful flowers!

The mystery of the labelled Pachyphytum ‘Dark Red’ (as sold in U.K. garden centres) might actually be Sedeveria ‘Blue Mist’ - it’s been flowering for the last 8-10 weeks now. Mystery solved perhaps? #sedeveria #xsedeveria #sedeveriabluemist #xsedeveriabluemist #succulent

Thanks Rach 😊 - they were selling these in spring as outdoor plants at the local GC, but it’s done wonders indoors @rachelbrooks

Here you go @Soph1e - definitely powdery blue on the new growth and where the GC had been watering it the older leaves are darker in appearance. It has been in my polytunnel for about 6 weeks now I think, which I guess has influenced the leaf colour. The other thing I noticed is that the main stem is branched, I can't see its ever been beheaded so seems natural - is that normal for this genus? And it looks like it's forming a few flower stems too 😀🤞🏼

@richard.spicer.7906 if you have a look at the ICN listing for "Blue Mist" it does seem to branch. http://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?akID=177&aaID=2&aiID=B&aID=1265 Yours is a really lovely specimen 😊

Morning 👋🏼☕️ - bit late for succulent Sunday but was a bit of a busy weekend. They were selling these in the garden centre as outdoor succulents, but I can’t find any info about this variety on the web. So it might be just a marketing name. I doubt I can leave it out all year either in the UK. It’s quite nice and has definitely gone more red since repotting and putting outside. The new growth is coming through as a glaucous blue-green colouring 👍🏼 #succulent #pachyphytumdarkred

It’s beautiful but it most certainly is a marketing name. ICN either yours or @Soph1e ‘s flower we can work it out. 😆

I haven't been able to find anything on it, either I'm afraid @richard.spicer.7906. Still waiting for mine to even think about blooming - it's been quite slow growing.

@Soph1e - slow growing is a good indication of Pachyphytum though. 😊

It's certainly slow growing but I can't find a pachyphytum that looks right @Yollymac. Did you see the photo I posted of it next to my "Blue Mist"?
