Aeonium leucoblepharum

Description:

Family: Crassulaceae

Multi-branched with pointed rosettes. Leaves start a golden green, maturing to hot pink with a vivid red central stripe. These unusual Aeonium are Summer growers needing some regular water.

Habitat:
Found in Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Uganda.

Cultivation:
Does well outdoors in the bay area as a potted plant or landscape specimen. Plant in well draining media. This plant is from a Summer rainfall region, but can receive water throughout the year in cultivation. Should be watered about once every 2 weeks, always allowing time for the soil to dry out between waterings. Aeoniums are monocarpic so branches die back after flowering, but plants will generally re-branch from lower stems.
