Aeonium Collection

We offer you a Collection of Aeoniums which brings together three unique varieties: Aeonium arboreum 'Schwarzkopf', Aeonium 'Garnet', and Aeonium leucoblepharum. These succulent plants are sought after for their spectacular rosette foliage and unusual habit. By the seaside, on the terrace, or indoors, their strong personality is appreciated. Perennial and drought-resistant, they need protection from frost, as they cannot tolerate temperatures below -2°C. Grown in pots like cacti, they can be easily brought inside during winter. Use them to decorate a bright room or a conservatory throughout the year.

The collection consists of:

1 x Aeonium arboreum 'Schwarzkopf': An impressive variety reaching up to 1 m in height, with intensely black foliage that is almost hypnotic. Its tight rosettes form spectacular clusters, contrasting with its bright yellow flowering in early spring.

1 x Aeonium 'Garnet': This slightly more compact plant reaches about 80-90 cm in height. Its rosettes display deep garnet shades, greener at the base of the leaves. It also produces small yellow flowers in dense clusters.

1 x Aeonium leucoblepharum: Smaller, with a maximum height of 75 cm, this Aeonium is distinguished by its bright green rosettes with a reddish midrib and slightly pink edges. It is covered in yellow to reddish flowers in May. This variety, unlike the other two, prefers partial shade and soils that are not too arid.

These Aeoniums are ideally planted in spring. Primarily grown in pots, they can be easily brought indoors to protect them from the cold. They are also suitable for indoor cultivation, provided they are placed in a well-lit spot.

Create an exotic decor on the terrace or balcony, by pairing them with proteas, agaves, cacti and succulents. In coastal areas, you can plant them in the ground, in soil lightened with coarse sand, or in a large rockery. In colder regions, growing them in large pots is very easy; ensure good drainage and water generously, but infrequently, allowing the substrate to dry out between waterings.
