It differs from E. subrigida in its greater number of farinose rather than glaucous to pruinose leaves, which are narrower and thicker as well as generally longer than those of E. subrigida and the flowers are distinctly different. It was only recently named though the plant has long been in cultivation misnamed as a form of Echeveria subrigida or under the name Echeveria rosei.

Inflorescence: Stalk erect. pruinose reddish, usually solitary 45-60 cm long, with about 5 branches 3-8 cm apart, each with 4-12 flowers; bearing grey leaf bracts soon drying and falling. Pedicels: 4-17 mm long and 4 mm thick. Flowers: About. 23 mm long; tube pruinose greyish-lavender, petals 20 mm long, 6-8 mm wide pruinose orange-pink outside, inner surface yellowish.
