well in full sun to dense shade near the coast and does best with some mid
day protection for inland gardens. Echeveria secunda is not
particular about soil type but will not do well in a moist garden.

or so across and then Echeveria secunda starts producing pups along the
lower parts of the stem. Echeveria secunda blooms during the Summer
months. The Hens and Chicks grows to a foot tall and forms a
spreading clump that expands a few inches in each direction a year.
