Aeoniums Abilities

Aeoniums are some of the most gorgeous plants available, succulent or not. They fit a number of landscape themes and can be used for their vibrant colors, varying shapes, beautiful rosettes, as much as their low water needs. Tall, short, purple, green, we grow only a handful of varieties, but they each have their own unique applications. Aeonium Garnett has been a long time staple for us. Most of our designers know of Aeonium Zwartkopf, or Cyclops, by name, but ultimately fall in love with the ease of use, beautifully tight rosettes, and layering ability of Garnet.
