Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a nifty Aeonium from the Canary Islands. It grows to 3’ tall on a single stalk. The rosettes are about 8” across and a nice bright glossy green. The leaves have a slight undulation to them, which makes the heads that much more ornamental. The bloom is dark yellow and forms out of the center of the rosette into a large cone. Looks great planted in groups or popping out of something low growing. Give it shade in hotter areas.
