“Topsy Turvy” is a popular succulent grown for its wavy and colourful foliage. The thick, powder blue leaves are borne as a rosette off short stems. Yellow-orange flowers are often borne off slender stems during summer. This succulent typically grows to 30 cm tall and the same wide, growing best in a full sun position on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and extended dry periods. This Echeveria makes for a great pot plant and is often used in rock gardens, or grown where something hardy and a little unusual is wanted. The wonderful leaf shape and colour makes this a stand out, particularly in an office environment.
