Hi Philomel,
This looks similar to kalanchoe tomentosa, with less "fur", I don't know how anyone tells them all apart. best, patrick
That's interesting
I wonder if it was incorrectly labelled - I've always thought it looks very different to my other Echeverias.
Certainly looks as if it might be E pulvinata, so the spelling there is wrong. I found this link to photos, but haven't time to delve deeper just at the moment......

I just bought a plant that looks very much like this one, but I have no information on what it really is. Mine is slightly furry and has more red on the outside of some of the leaves. I'm wondering how to care for it, i.e., can I plant it outside in my small garden? I live in Tucson, AZ.

There is no such plant correctly named Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby Blush'. The only correctly named "Ruby Blush" Echeveria is Echeveria chihuahuaensis 'Ruby Blush', which is a completely different plant. It might be Echeveria pulvinata though.
