Echeveria grandiflora, commonly known as Mexican Snow Ball, is an evergreen succulent native to semi-desert regions and rocky outcrops in Mexico. It typically forms rosettes reaching a height of 0.5-0.7 feet (0.2-0.2 meters) and a width of 0.2-0.4 feet (0.06-0.1 meters). The fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves are pale green to silvery-white, often with a pinkish tinge at the edges, giving the plant a distinctive, frosted appearance. Echeveria grandiflora blooms with coral to pinkish-purple flowers on tall stalks that rise above the foliage in spring and summer, attracting pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.

This succulent is favored for its low maintenance requirements and its ability to withstand drought. It is ideal for rock gardens, container plantings, and as ground cover in xeriscaped landscapes. The Mexican Snow Ball thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. While it is generally pest-resistant, mealybugs and aphids can sometimes be a problem. Echeveria grandiflora is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.CC BY-SA 4.0
