    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From the Canary Islands, this virgin aeonium probably won't flower for you, but its pale green, aromatic rosettes of fuzzy, 8" leaves are enough to satisfy me. Full to part sun with occasional summer water. Frost hardy to about 20 °F or so, the bottom of USDA Zone 9, so best used as container plant that can be taken inside where temperatures are harsher. Should be kept indoors in a bright but cool place with occasional water in winter.
