Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Use this shrubby Aeonium in succulent planters for added height and bulk. It is well behaved and freely branched, sending off glossy apple green rosettes of fleshy foliage. Our shrubby stock plants are about 12-15" in height after a year's growth This Aeonium is only hardy to about 25 °F, so it needs to be brought in for the winter in cold climate areas.
