Echeveria (Hens and Chicks) succulents grow as rosettes of green to gray-green or bluish gray leaves and nodding, bell-shaped flowers on tall stems in spring or early summer. Some species spread to form multiple rosettes, others remain solitary. Native to rocky outcrops in semi-arid parts of Mexico, Central America, and northwestern South America, hundreds of cultivars can be found. Plant in cool sun or afternoon shade, with good air circulation and excellent drainage.
