                                                             Echeveria

                                                           Echeveria Agavoides
ECHEVERIA, best grown in full sun.
Echevera is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to Crassulacea family. They are native to semi-desert of Central America, Mexico and Northwestern South America.
They are decidious or evergreen. Flowers arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly colored leaves. Echeverias are POLYCARPIC, that means they may flower and produce seeds many times in their life span. Many offsets can be produced and can be collected for propagation. 
Many echeveria species are popular in the garden. Most are heat tolerant, drought resistant. Most will tolerate shade and some frost. Most will lose lower leaves in winter. Remove all spent leaves (rain soak) to prevent attracting fungus and pests.
