Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Exceptionally rare & just about one of the best ever-good-looking, drought tolerant, sidewalk-bedding edgers you can grow! 12”-16” across saucer-shaped rosettes of smooth mid green can form a perfect low-maintenance groundcover in sun (along the coast) to brt/part shade inland. And the leaves give off the most pleasant balsam fragrance! A large pyramidal chartreuse bloom stalk eventually appears as well as baby side rosettes which can be easily transplanted to increase your collection. Fantastic in large combo pots. Considered by some to be a sub-species of Aeonium palmense.
