Prolific Echeveria is a small fleshy herb that forms
rosettes of light glaucous green leaves that can get flushes of pink
when grown in bright sun. It offsets abundantly and spreads by runners
to form a low, dense clump. The rosettes grow up to 8 cm across. In
early spring and sometimes until summer, the stout bell-shaped flowers,
unique in the genus, with yellow petals appear held in compact clusters
at the end of prostrate, up to 25 cm long, stalks with easily detached
bracts that fall off and root easily to form new plants. Prolific
Echeveria is native to Mexico, cultivated worldwide as a pot succulent.
