Aeonium 'Zwartkop' - Black Rose Aeonium
Pot size: 4" tall
This dramatic, easy-to-grow succulent is evergreen with rosettes of shiny, black, fleshy spoon-shaped leaves on a strong stem. Drought-tolerant, they prefer light dappled shade, especially inland. Color is darkest in strong light. Long-lasting, brilliant yellow, pollinator-friendly inflorescence is followed by the death of the primary head, but usually side-shoots remain to carry on the show. Deer and rodent resistant. Color most intense in sun.
Note: Fall aeoniums are just coming out of summer dormancy. Plant and enjoy!
Size: 3' h x 2'w
Light: full sun to part shade
Soil: Well-drained preferred, regular potting soil is ok.
Water: Allow to dry between waterings.
Bloom: Brilliant yellow; monocarpic (dies after bloom). Unblooming branches continue to grow.
Other notes: Cut off and reroot as needed, such as if leggy or base dies.
