Echeveria purpusorum 'White Form' is an extremely rare form of Echeveria purpusorum which has 'Ghost-like' White colouration with Red outlines.
A strong structural plant with robust leaves and form, this really is a choice plant; especially as they are so hard to come by!
It is a slow grower and to keep the White colouration it will need to be grown hard with a bright light.
