Aeonium 'Garnet' Fire Rose

Fire Rose

Family

Crassulaceae

Origin

Canary Islands

Description

A deep bronze-burgundy rosettes plant, with a green-yellow center which branches into multiple shrubs-like succulents.

Environment

Aeonium 'Garnet' grows best in full sun during the cooler months and when grown in coastal areas. When grown inland or during the summer, provide this succulent with afternoon or partial shade. Avoid placing tree anemones in sites with western sun exposures..

Aeoniums do not like really hot or dry weather. They may go dormant in summer and do not require any water, except in very dry conditions. In extreme heat, their leaves will curl, to prevent excessive water loss. Growing them in moist shade will keep them growing, but their true growth season is winter to spring, when temperatures are cool and damp. In the winter, water whenever the soil has dried out.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
