    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Very rare & almost extinct in its native habitat, this is one of the most interesting & decorative Aeoniums we’ve grown. Overlapping leaves forming 4-8” multilayered cups crowding atop stout stems create a 3’ x 3’ mound. Starry yellow blooms in July & August & pleasant balsam scent. Provide good drainage & a bit of Summer water for best appearance. If necessary, cut back to maintain compact form. Deer resistant & drought tolerant.
