Aeonium arboreum - Tree Aeonium, Velvet Rose

Due to its candelabra-like branched shape and the arrangement of its leaves similar to the flower of a rose the Tree Aenium (Aeonium arboreum) looks attractive throughout the year. In late winter old plants produce up to 30 cm high, yellow inflorescence. The variety ‘Atropurpurea’ has dark red leaves that colour even more intensive the sunnier their location. Tree Aenium seldom grow higher than knee- high. In winter, that the plants can spend in the house or a greenhouse, it is normal for the leaves to turn more green due to the lack of light. In Spring they will turn red again. Aeonium arboreum is very easy to care: it needs only little water, occasionally some fertiliser and every few years a new pot.

Quality: small-growing foliage plant; impressive inflorescence; easy to care and long-life
Use: in pots from April/ May to September/ October outside on balcony, terrace and in the garden - during winter in the house; all year in the house or a greenhouse
