    Tender fun succulent type

    By: Jockey Hill Nursery

    Branching tree-like succulent, one of the largest Aeoniums, this species from Morocco will make quite a statement! Deep green leaves form rosettes to 1' wide on large trunks to 3' or more. Over time, numerous offsets are produced. It will appreciate full sun, not too much heat, and ample water. Although not suited to year-round use in very frosty climates, is it one of the most rewarding, exotic-looking container plants one can grow. Hardy to about 27 °F.
