Vanishing plant?
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

think you've mis-understood how "Google Image Search" works ... you have to GIVE it an image, not expect it to go and find the one you're THINKING of. Whistle

Thumbs Up

Some variety of Echeveria.

https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/search-results?query=echeveria

I have a large number in rectangular troughs in my garden.

The biggest issue is over-watering. Provide moderate amounts of water in the hot, dry season.
Let the soil dry out completely before you irrigate again.

Water the potting mix and not the rosette because it can, and will, easily rot.

Bring the plant indoors, or into a greehouse over winter.

They are interesting, low maintenance, garden plants.

You might think that this is a good offer:-

10 for £10 rather than £25.

I have ordered a pack.

Cant see the original image but the Sempervivum in that offer are not the same thing as Echeveria.

Two different genus, but same family. Semps/Houseleeks are from from North Africa and the middle east and Echeveria from northern end of south America and central America. Houseleeks tend to be the more hardy, most Echeveria dont like cold and wet.
