Echeveria are perhaps the most versatile and enduring of the succulents, with numerous cultivars that have been in existence for over 150 years (E. Imbricata) to the many new and exciting cultivars which are being developed by breeders around the world, some that are only just now available commercially (e.g. E. Baron Bold) and others still to be discovered by the home gardener (E. Raindrops). 

Traditionally Echeveria have been used as hardy, drought tolerant pot and garden plants, popularly used in border plantings, containers and rockeries. Modern gardeners, and especially modern gardens - patios, courtyards, balconies and decorative pots, lend themselves naturally to the use of Echeveria, giving unique and intriguing features, colours and accents that few other types of plants can offer.

Bumps, frills and colours are continually being improved through breeding and selection, and many modern Echeveria have been selected for characteristics that have become very refined and distinct. Some of the most popular Echeveria, such as E. Mauna Loa, combine many features, whereas for other cultivars their beauty lies in their simplicity (e.g. E. Lilacina).

Echeveria are easy to grow in most temperature climates, and can even be successful almost anywhere with a little care. With the trend towards lowering demands on our limited water resources, Echeveria are ideal for the modern garden and the environmentally conscious gardener.
