'Sunburst Tree Houseleeks' Aeoniums Aboreum
These low-maintenance plants feature unique shapes and colorful foliage that can add a vibrant touch to any garden or home. As a bonus, they require little water and are easy to care for. The rounded leaves of the rosette structures are so perfect that these succulents are sometimes mistaken for artificial plants.
These signature rosettes can be solid in color or variegated in white, yellow, red, and green. Small, star-like flowers grow in clusters from the center of the rosettes, but they are not particularly showy. Aeoniums can be planted in the garden or indoors at any time.
Houseleeks are rather slow-growing plants and may take as many as five years before they produce the little bunches of flowers from the center of the rosettes. Most aeoniums are monocarpic, which means that the mother plant dies after flowering, but the pups (shoots) will continue to produce more shoots, as well.
Growing Sunburst Tree Houseleeks
- Sunburst Tree Houseleeks (Aeonium 'Sunburst') is a striking succulent known for its rosette-forming leaves with vibrant green and yellow variegation and pink edges.
- It thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring bright light to maintain its colorful foliage.
