Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy'
Fast-growing, award-winning Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’ is an evergreen succulent with stemless rosettes (4 in. wide or 10 cm) of waxy, spoon-shaped, powdery blue-gray leaves which are interestingly rolled downwards along their length, and curled up so that the tips point toward the center of the plant. In late summer or fall, it sends up 8 in. tall (20 cm) arching stems that bear star-shaped, yellow, and orange flowers. This Echeveria offsets readily and will form a dense carpet of rosettes over time. A great choice as a groundcover, for rock gardens, green roofs, or containers.
