Aeonium Arboreum Zwartkop | Black Rose Aeonium

Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' (Black Rose Aeonium) - A striking succulent which forms clumps of 3-4 foot tall gray-brown stems that often branch near their base but not above. The long, bare stems hold large terminal rosettes of very dark purple (seemingly black) leaves. Yellow star-shaped flowers that contrast well against the dark foliage form in long conical clusters from the center of the rosettes of mature older plants in summer, after which the stems bearing the flower die to the ground.

Plant in a well-drained soil in full sun near the coast to partial shade inland. Water deeply but infrequently - this is a winter growing species that is semi-dormant in summer and early fall when foliage is at its darkest. Protect from frost as stems will freeze at around 28° F.
