A smaller scale Aeonium sporting tight rosettes of gray green narrow tapered leaves that have subtle deeper green markings and tiny serrated edges. 'Silver Edge' will form mounding clumps to 8" tall and seems to supply a steady number of offsets, making it a useful filler plant in containers. There is some confusion regarding its specific name, as some sources refer to A. canariensis.
