Echeveria craigiana
A stemless rosette of pale, powdery, pinkish-grey leaves described by Walther in 1952 from the Sierra Madre Occidental of north-western Mexico. It comes from a highland climate with a cold, dry winter, a hot, very dry spring and summer monsoon rains, so it wants full sun, sharp drainage and a cool, dry rest.
Where it grows wild
Wild records cluster in the canyon country of south-western Chihuahua and neighbouring Sinaloa and Durango, where Echeveria of this group grow on cliffs and rocky outcrops in pine-oak country. No species-specific habitat notes were reachable, so the microhabitat is inferred from the genus and the recorded sites.
Recorded elevations run from about 250 to 2,400 m, with a median near 1,800 m; the few low records are from canyon bottoms.
