    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Aeonium hybrid 'Kiwi' is a striking succulent, which thrives in rock gardens, containers or indoors on a windowsill. It features tricolor, spoon-shaped leaves variegated in bright-yellow and green and tipped in bold pink. This PRINCE OF PARADISE™ is unique because of its winter growing and summer dormant behavior. Provide a sandy, well-drained soil, and water regularly, although mostly drought tolerant once established. Prefers to be inside during extreme humidity, as well as protected from winter frost. Produces yellow, star-shaped flowers in the summer.

    Aeonium haworthii is endemic to the island of Tenerife. It forms small branching shrubs of succulent rosettes with fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves. 'Kiwi' has brilliantly coloured leaves centred with bright yellow with salmon-red to pink highlights. Leaves slowly change to green. Yellow flowers bloom in the summer. Grow in fullest sun for best colour. Bring indoors to a bright windowsill in winter for a striking houseplant.

    Morning Sun to Light Shade. Indoor/Outdoor. Yellow Blooms.

    Variegated Rock Rose. Rosettes of tricolor green, cream, and pink red spatulate leaves radiate on sturdy stalks. Left unpruned plants look like something that would grow in a Dr. Suess garden. If you prefer a more conventional look, pinch back (in mid-May to mid-July here in New England) and root the rosettes, which encourages low branching and a denser habit. It does take awhile for new growth to occur, so be patient.

    Brightly colored succulent, the leaves pale yellow in the center, progressing towards green on the outer leaf, and all edged in red. Blooms with yellow flowers in summer. Rosettes on stalks eventually reach 2-3' tall x 1-2' wide, a very impressive display. These prefer part or dappled sun with very little water. Frost hardy to 25 °F, mid USDA Aone 9 so best in containers that winter indoors with only occasional water. Also sold as A. 'Tricolor and A. 'Kiwionium.'

    Cute tender succulent ideal for containers outside in the summer and doing double duty as a houseplant inside during the winter. Multiple rosettes of fleshy leaves each banded in green, cream and pink makes this kinda irresistible. Easy to grow and best on the dry side especially in winter.
