Plants may be evergreen or deciduous. Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves.Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes.
Often numerous offsets are produced, and are commonly known as hen and chicks, which can also refer to other genera, such as Sempervivum, that are significantly different from Echeveria.Plant Specifications

Planting and care
Like all succulents, Echeveria need soil that drains quickly. This helps prevent moisture from rotting the roots. Many growers will create their own special mixture of soil and perlite. However, good quality potting soil, or a cactus mix will work fine. As a rule of thumb, when you squeeze a handful of moist soil together, it should crumble apart again when released.
Echeveria runyonii care
Growing plants can be inexpensive, particularly when growing them from seed. Seeds of plants flowers should usually be sown directly into the sunny flower bed, as developing roots do not like to be disturbed.
