Turricula - PictureThis

Turricula

Turricula are mountain-growing shrubs that are native to California. Despite their attractive purple and white flowers, these are not common ornamental species and this is perhaps a good thing since they have been shown to cause contact dermatitis when handled by people. These plants have a relationship with wildfires, coming into bloom after the fires pass.

Care Guide for Turricula

Every week

Water

Water: Turricula thrives in consistently moist conditions, requiring weekly watering to mimic its natural habitat. It prefers soil that retains moisture while allowing excess drainage, essential for preventing root rot and supporting healthy growth, particularly in outdoor environments with variable weather.

Propagation: Turricula is propagated mainly by seed sowing in well-draining soil with balanced moisture and sunlight. Temperatures should support germination. Stratification or scarification may be needed for hard-coated seeds. Germination occurs in weeks; seedlings should be transplanted once strong enough.
