Aeonium canariense

Canary Island Aeonium, Aeonium giganteum, Velvet Rose

The fleshy rosettes of these evergreen succulents form living sculptures of bright green, bluish green, or purple. Clusters of yellow, pink, or white flowers bloom in spring or summer. Grow them in rock gardens, or display in patio containers or a sunny spot indoors. They tolerate light frost but require good drainage. Start new plants from cuttings.

The velvety fuzz of this succulent gives it its common name. Free-standing, unbranched stems are graced by a profusion of yellow blooms and pale green leaves to 12-inches long.
