Aeonium Species, Giant Velvet Rose

Palm bob, indeed they are. But they take a while to bloom and in the meantime make tons of offsets. I started with maybe 20 mother plant...Read Mores, and now I've got hundreds. My first, a canariense, has grown to a 5 by 3.5 foot bush, and has had its massive flower spikes for 1 whole year. The rest of them I propagate so they look like 2 foot lollipops. This way, they don't topple. I don't know how I ended up with so many varieties, my guess is their hybrid strains must revert to some relative. I'm waiting on my plant stock license so I can sell them maybe. I see your a succulent guru. If you wanna trade stuff just let me know.

So easy to grow here and down Southern Ca, i just stick in the ground, and up they come, whether you want them or not. Very attractive

Most plants identified this in cultivation are hybrids. All forms (are 4 distinct varieties of this species) have varying degrees of fuzz- if no fuzz, not a pure species.
