    Big branched and bold...Love this Jack Catlin cross of Aeonium undulatum and arboreum 'Zwartkop'. Large green eyed rosettes of darkest bronze-black foliage on branched stalks add dramatic dark contrast and can get large when given time and space…to 4' tall and 4'wide . For those of us limited to growing Aeonium in containers, the size will be more restricted.

    Reddish-bronze leaves with a green "eye” in the center are a standout on this large Aeonium, to 4-5' tall and 3-4' wide. A cross between the darker A. 'Zwartkop' and the more wavy leaved A. undulatum, these succulents are cold hardy to 25 °F, so best in pots or a very! protected area. Well-drained soil in sun or shade with little water for plants in the ground, a bit more in containers.
