Without question this has some of the most spectacular flowers in the entire genus. Borne on long 24 inch peduncles, the large bell shaped flowers are truly superb. It’s also easy to grow and incredibly robust.

An impressive size plant can be developed in just a few years. This is a superb species in every way and deserves a place in any succulent collection.
