Aeonium 'Sunburst'

Aeonium 'Sunburst' has proven to be a very popular cultivar, with its large rosettes of yellow-streaked succulent leaves. When it was first introduced, it was listed as a cultivar of Aeonium decorum, but this is obviously incorrect, and it is unknown what it actually derives from. The creamy buds and white open flowers are an additional treat. Aeoniums belong to the Stonecrop Family, and most of them are native to the Canary Islands.

In a front garden in Inverness the distinctive succulent Aeonium 'Zwartkop' was providing a display. This evergreen perennial has rosettes of deep blackish-purple leaves, and large panicles of small, starry, bright yellow flowers in early spring. It is best grown in a container as it will need the shelter of a conservatory or glasshouse for the winter in colder climates.
