Posted by GigiAdeniumPlumeria (Florida - Zone 9b) on Feb 26, 2022 9:54 AM concerning plant:

Due to the variations in color and size of the rosettes when sold in stores, buyers may unwittingly collect the same succulents when sold under different names.

These are sold as: xGraptosedum 'Blue Pearl' and xGraptosedum 'Darley Sunshine', xGraptosedum 'Edelfrau', xGraptoveria 'Frostbite', xGraptosedum 'Pink Beauty', xGraptoveria 'Van Keppel', xSedeveria 'Doinet', xSedeveria 'Starburst'

Some online sites sell this as:
Graptoveria 'Blue Pearl' (usually when the rosettes are mature, huge and plump).

Small succulent with leafy, glaucous rosettes and flat, bright yellow flowers. Stems may grow relatively long over time, first upward and generally downward later on. This is presumed to be a hybrid of two Mexican plants, Graptopetalum paraguayense and Sedum pachyphyllum, and it has intermediate features. The leaves may vary quite a bit in color from glaucous green to glaucous blue with lots of pink or peach highlights, depending on conditions.

This hybrid is also known as "Darley Sunshine," among other names in the trade.
