Description
Bright yellow flowers. Very unusual.
This is a great small foliage Aeonium which leaves fold up when the plant is going through a dry spell. Regardless of climate this plant always seems to start flowering at RHS Chelsea and can go on until mid July. The flowers attract bees like a magnet and so as striking as the bright yellow flowers are to the human eye I would say bees appreciate much more. We recommend protecting from winter wet as although hardy if kept dry we sometimes lose our rock garden specimens to wet winters.

Superb plant, so much larger than I expected. Not sure how hardy it is, will sit in the coldframe over winter. Excellent value for money.

An incredible species aeonium from the Canary Islands like a miniature tree! Performs with incredible bright yellow flowers. Tender so needs to be kept frost free.
