Echeveria peacockii or Echeveria desmetiana, commonly known as Mexican Peacock Echeveria, is an evergreen succulent native to rocky outcrops and semi-desert regions of southern Mexico. It typically grows to a height of 0.3-1 feet (0.09-0.3 meters) and a width of 0.3-0.5 feet (0.09-0.2 meters). This plant forms rosettes of silver-blue leaves with a slight pink tinge at the tips, giving it a peacock-like appearance. The flowers are showy, with pink to orange petals that bloom atop tall, arching inflorescences in the spring and summer months.

Echeveria peacockii is favored for its low maintenance and drought tolerance, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, container plantings, and as ground cover in xeriscapes. It is also commonly used in succulent arrangements and as a potted houseplant. This succulent requires minimal water, well-draining soil, and thrives in part shade to full sun. While it is generally pest-resistant, overwatering can lead to root rot. Echeveria peacockii is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease issues. It is important to protect it from frost, as it is not cold-hardy.CC BY-SA 4.0
