Graptopetalum Danica

Graptopetalum 'Danica' is a charming, compact succulent known for its delicate rosettes of pastel green to silvery-blue leaves that can blush pink under bright light or cool temperatures. The fleshy leaves form neat, symmetrical rosettes and often produce offsets, creating attractive clusters over time. Its subtle colour changes and graceful form make it perfect for mixed succulent arrangements, pots, or small rock gardens.
