Description:
Native to Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, is a branching succulent shrub with flat rosettes of fleshy green leaves often edged pink to red, especially in strong sunlight.

Growing up to 1m tall, it produces dense clusters of star-shaped pale pink to rose-white flowers and thrives in dry, rocky subtropical habitats.
