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 There is, however, a plant which is correctly named Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby' which looks a lot like this plant.

I don't know the suppliers in the UK, but here we have a few which supply C&S to the big stores, and all of them are well-known for supplying plants with incorrect labels. I think the only time I can somewhat trust the label on a plant is when I get it from a small hobby grower or I grow it myself! LOL

This was a plant I had in Maine btw. Yes I realise labels can't always be trusted which is quite worrying really!

Aha! Then you were probably a victim of the dreaded Altman's Plants. They're the ones who supply Home Depot and other large stores w/their C&S. You can always tell an Altman's plant by the orange pot and green and white label.
