Highlights
Aeonium 'Kiwi': A cute, selected cultivar of Pinwheel Aeonium. It is a tricolor, variegated rosette of green and yellow with hot pink margins, when grown in bright sun. It makes a very attractive and showy plant for sunny sills and succulent gardens. Over time, it grows tall, bare stems, but it takes well to pruning and replanting to keep it compact.
PLEASE NOTE: Leaves may curl or become bruised during shipping. They will recover with proper light and water and by growing and shedding old leaves. See photo examples:
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
That particular Aeonium Annie was brushing was Aeonium 'Lily Pad' and it has a very slight stickiness to the leaves that can trap dust. However, since Aeonium are sensitive to touch and can bruise easily, she was using a paint brush to remove the dust gently. Some people also like using puffs of air to remove dust or crinkle paper from shipping too.
• Staff Answer
Outdoor Aeonium can go dormant in the summer heat. When dormant, the rosettes will close. This is a normal part of the plant's growth. Dormant succulents should be left alone, without water or fertilizer.
If you are growing your Aeonium indoors on a sunny windowsill, you can continue normal succulent care through summer.

This tag just means that the particular plant is extra fragile, and may arrive with bruises or curled leaves due to it being jostled in transit. This damage won't be permanent and, with proper care, it will absolutely recover. However, if there is extensive damage that goes beyond mere bruising or curled leaves, feel free to take advantage of our 14 day quality guarantee!

No! If you live in zone 11, you can grow Aeonium plants outdoors easily.
Water will be your primary issue, as the only zone 11 places in the US are either very dry or very humid. If the issue is dryness then the solution is to simply water more. If you live in a humid area then you'll have to protect your plant from overwatering and excessive rainfall.
Sunlight will be another issue as Aeonium plants are prone to sunburn. You may need to plant these in a somewhat shadier spot in your garden. Just make sure it's not too shady or your plant may stretch. Shade cloth may help tremendously here. It'd be a good idea to read our article on sunburn so you know what to look for if your plant starts losing its vigor.
