x Pachyveria 'Bill Baker' - A beautiful gray succulent with 4 to 6 inch wide rosettes of short fat gray succulent leaves.
Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well drained soil and give occasional to infrequent irrigation. Hardiness is not known other than the ability of this plant to survive a light frost with temperatures right at freezing. We have not tried this plant in the ground but it makes a beautiful potted specimen.
x Pachyveria 'Bill Baker' is an intergeneric hybrid that resulted from crossing the Moonstone plant,Pachyphytum oviferum with Echeveria laui, a beautiful species with fat bluish white leaves from Oaxaca. We got this beautiful little succulent from aloe hybridizer John Bleck who got it from the late Bill Baker, who may have performed the cross. Unfortunately we cannot ask him - RIP Bill Baker!
