Echeveria lilacina, commonly known as Ghost Echeveria, is an evergreen succulent native to rocky outcroppings in the semi-desert regions of northeastern Mexico. It typically reaches a modest height of about 15 cm and forms a symmetrical rosette that can span 12–25 cm in diameter. The leaves are notable for their silvery-grey color, spoon-shaped form, and fleshy texture, which contribute to its ghostly appearance. Ghost Echeveria is slow-growing and highly drought-tolerant, an adaptation to its arid native habitat.

The Ghost Echeveria is appreciated for its low maintenance requirements and striking foliage, which makes it a popular choice for rock gardens, succulent collections, and as a potted plant for indoor and outdoor settings. Its pale pink or coral-colored flowers emerge on tall stalks above the foliage, typically from late winter to early spring, adding a delicate contrast to its robust leaf rosettes. For successful cultivation, it requires full sun exposure, minimal watering, and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it is generally pest-resistant, overwatering can lead to problems such as fungal diseases.CC BY-SA 4.0
