Aeonium Species

I think the difference in this species from the A. hawarthii is the I see small soft serrations on the leaf edges that I do not see on th...Read Moree hawarthii.....also the amount of air rooting on this plant is tremendous.

as you can see on the pict. insitus, the plant does not resemble at the plant in culture. On the island of La Gomera (Canary Islands) the...Read More plant is considered as a local endemic, what meens she only grows on this island and nowherels on the world. She is growing in rock-cracks without any substrat. In general the leaves have a red shiny colour du to sun exposion.

smaller, clustering and branching species with skinny stems about 1/4" in diameter and small (2" about diameter) rosettes of blue-green, ...Read Morestiff, pointed leaves sometimes tinged with hint of pink along the edges. Makes a nice clump of plants- almost a ground-cover effect. Not sure exactly how this 'species' differs from Aeonium hawarthii... may be a cultivar of it. Sure looks similar, and this 'species' is not to be found anywhere on the internet save a few rare spots... could be a Huntington invention? or so rare that the super-common plant you can get at any Target is really something else?

But if this is that plant (seems not to match any other species well) then it is a very common landscaping plant. The cold snap of 2007 in southern California, that melted most other Aeoniums, hardly affected this species at all- very cold hardy for an Aeonium. Easy to grow from cuttings (as most are) though the woodier stems of this plant make it even easier- less apt to snap off or get bruised/damaged when shoving the cutting into the soil.
