Green rosettes that darken into deep burgundy at their outer edges, appearing on low, spreading stems, Aeonium arboreum Tip Top is an evergreen, succulent with a shrubby habit, ideal for a sunny rockery, patio or indoors.
It is tender so will need protection from frost requiring temperature above 5C (41F). In most parts of the country, it is better to grow in pots and move to a heated greenhouse or enjoy indoors over the winter months.
Height: 30cm (12″). Spread: 60cm (12″).
Pot up plugs plants and grow them on in warm, frost free conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before moving to their permanent positions. Grow Aeonium plants in well drained, sandy or gritty soil in sun or light, semi shade.
Aeoniums are frost tender and require temperatures above 5C (41F) if they are to survive. In most parts of the UK they are best grown in pots and moved to a heated greenhouse or conservatory over the winter months.
