This is another sun loving water hating succulent. It may or many not survive over the winter here. It is not supposed to survive our cold, yet I was told by someone at the Extension office sale that hers have survived just fine outside for many winters. Flowers will come on long stems rising from the middle of the plant.
In the summer they prefer regular watering but will rot if too wet in the winter. They can do well in the shade as well just keep an eye on the water. Lower leaves can be lost in the winter and while it won’t harm the plant it may make it less pretty. Drought tolerant once established.
On a side note silvery plants do not as a rule do well in humid climates. The little hairs/fuzz that makes them silver are there to help them retain more moisture in dry climates.

This guy is happy as can be. He’s not growing but there is no damage from last weeks low temperatures below freezing.
