{"title":"Echeveria","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlants in the genus echeveria are sometimes known by the common name \"Hens and Chicks\" due to the fact that the central mother plant will produce small baby \"offsets\" around its base. The name \"Hens and Chicks\" is also used for the genus sempervivum. Echeveria are also called \"Mexican Firecrackers\" because they produce small neon orange flowers in summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEcheveria leaves have a wide range of colors and come in shades of green, silver, blue, red, and pink. Usually the leaves are smooth and waxy but some echeveria species have fuzzy leaves. Over time, echeveria stems will elongate and leave you with a rosette on a stick. Some people will discard these and start over with fresh cuttings, while others (myself included) find Echeveria-on-a-stick to be attractive and keep them. As with all succulents, Echeveria are drought-tolerant and winter drainage is vital for survival.

Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' is a unique winter-hardy form that makes a 6\" tall x 10\" wide offsetting rosette of thick silver-blue leaves that are recurved upward and slightly contorted. Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' was named by former Huntington Gardens director and succulent guru, Myron Kimnack. Dry soils and good drainage in winter are key to survival in cold climates. Our plants of Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' survived unprotected at 7 degrees F, when kept bone dry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWatch our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/GMAPhg_Q0SE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlant Spotlight\u003c\/a\u003e video to see it in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21028875397,"sku":"8928","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Echeveria-runyonii-Topsy-Turvy.i-8928.s-65574.r-1.jpg?v=1791559177"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/echeveria-category_d1ffe00c-5a57-461b-878f-bcccb23cb7ba.jpg?v=1652799690","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/echeveria.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
