Graptopetalum superbum, commonly known as Beautiful Graptopetalum, is an evergreen succulent native to rocky outcrops and cliffs in Southwestern Mexico. It typically forms low-growing rosettes reaching a height of 0.2-0.3 feet (0.06-0.09 meters) and spreading 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters) wide. The plant is characterized by its fleshy, pale green to silvery-gray leaves that may exhibit a pinkish tinge under stress or with age. During the spring and summer, it produces star-shaped flowers with a striking combination of yellow and red hues, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Beautiful Graptopetalum is valued for its drought tolerance and unique foliage, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, container plantings, and as ground cover in xeriscaped areas. It thrives in full sun, requiring very low to low water once established, and prefers well-draining soil. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Additionally, it is easily propagated from leaf cuttings, making it a favorite among succulent enthusiasts.CC BY-SA 4.0
