Graptoveria 'Accolade' is a stunning succulent hybrid that was created in 1990 by Max Holmes. The parentage of this plant is Graptopetalum superbum and Echeveria globulosa, or possibly Echeveria hybrid ‘Vincent Catto’ which is widely distributed as E. globulosa. The plant is a compact rosette that grows up to 8 cm in diameter and produces over 40 leaves covered with a glaucous blue-green bloom. The leaves are paddle-shaped, slightly upturned, and have a mucro-tipped end with a distinct dark pink line along the tips.

This plant produces offsets readily on stems that are 5 mm thick and about 30 mm long, making it an excellent choice for propagation. The hybrid tends to remain almost stemless for quite some time and grows into a clump, giving it a nice, compact appearance. It looks best when grown in strong light and gets its best color in the cooler months.

Flowers of Graptoveria 'Accolade' appear throughout spring and start a little earlier than either parent, being freely produced in October and November in Australia. The inflorescence is intermediate between the parents, having several branches and many more flowers than the Echeveria parent. The peduncle bears quite fleshy bracts about 12 mm long, a feature apparently inherited from the Echeveria. Flowers are pink outside and yellowish inside, with a few tiny reddish spots at the petal tips and a similarly colored indistinct stripe in the center of the petals. The petals open substantially more than those of the Echeveria parent but do not reflex like those of the Graptopetalum, although the stamens do reflex between the petals. A mature rosette can produce at least 3 flower stems.

Graptoveria 'Accolade' is an easy-to-keep succulent that grows well in a range of conditions. It is a fairly recent introduction, which means it has not been much used in hybridizing yet, making it a unique addition to any collection. This plant is easy to propagate from leaves, bracts, or rosettes taken from the parent plant in winter or spring.

In summary, Graptoveria 'Accolade' is a beautiful, compact rosette succulent that produces stunning pink and yellow flowers in the spring. Its unique parentage makes it a unique addition to any collection, and its ease of propagation makes it a great choice for novice and experienced gardeners alike.
