I tucked this into a raised bed a couple years ago. It seems to like the dry conditions and has spread well beyond the initial planting.

Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy, believed to be a variant of Echeveria runyonii, forms upswept rosettes to 6" or more in diameter. The leaves are tubular with widened tips, and icy silver blue in color. 'Topsy Turvy' is considered by some to be a monstrose form, as the leaves are tubular, whereas the leaves of Echeveria runyonii are somewhat flattened, fleshy and have rounded tips. A very easily grown plant that is excellent for windowsill culture, in the rock garden or as a patio plant. In habitat, many Echeverias grow on rocky outcroppings at higher altitudes. In this habitat, the water drains quickly away from the roots of the plant, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. For this reason, it is essential in cultivation to use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. Bright light is required to prevent "stretching" of Echeverias ("stretching" occurs when a moderately fast growing plant such as an Echeveria, is grown in dim light or over-fertilized, which causes overly lush growth that contributes to weak, pallid plants). Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.

Southern California, Encinitas. Full sun, 3-4 feet tall. A colony of Harlequin bugs were visiting the flowers. California Buckwheats are principle food sources for many of our native wildlife. Buckwheats are also some of the most drought tolerant and adaptable plants in Southern California. They can grow low over the ground or into medium sized shrubs, full of flowers which may be white, orange, pink or red.

Asteraceae Encelia farinosa. A brittlebush flower (floret) on display in the Mojave Desert at Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The yellow flowers look fantastic with the backdrop of grey foliage. Used before the Spanish conquest as a medicinal plant (dulls toothache pain for instance), and the oil was used as an incense.
