Echeveria desmetiana is a small succulent rosette plant from Mexico, prized for its bluish-white leaves with reddish margins and red-and-yellow bell flowers. The key to growing it is bright light and very sparing watering, since it rots easily in wet soil.
Echeveria desmetiana, incorrectly known as Echeveria peacockii, is a succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae. L. de Smet was the first grower of this plant.
Echeveria desmetiana is cultivated as an ornamental plant, and often used as a drought-tolerant groundcover "carpet plant".
Echeveria desmetiana is native to central and southwest Mexico.
