Nursery contributed plant descriptions

What appears to be an Aeonium undulatum canariense hybrid, the 8-10" appetizingly-green rosettes appear on stems to a couple of feet in height, offsetting quickly to form a small succulent tree. This Canary Island native is at home in coastal California or Oregon but inland, where temps fall below the mid-20s °F, treat as a container specimen. A cool grower, it's dormant period is summer, it maintains active growth in winter so maintain moisture and place in a bright position then. USDA zone 9b.
Very large rosettes to 18" wide. Great sculptural container plant, full sun.
