Aeonium Schwarzkopff

Description

With rosettes of deep burgundy, almost black leaves, growing elegantly on palm-like trunks, Aeonium 'Schwarzkopff' is something different for you. It also produces pretty little yellow flowers in spring! This unique plant is stunning as a houseplant, but you can also grow it in a pot in a sunny spot! They are extremely drought tolerant they dont like being in moist soil, so grow them in pots, in soil mixed with 50% grit and sand. They are not hardy though, so make sure you bring them indoors in winter before the cold weather sets in. Slow growing, they will reach around 40-50cm (16-20) tall in about 3-4 years, and will make a spectacular plant for a windowsill or tabletop.
