Product Details

Highlights

Aeonium 'Sunburst': Beautiful large rosette variegated with green, white, and yellow and a pink leaf margin. It grows tall in Mediterranean climates, but it can also grow as a house plant on very sunny sills. 'Sunburst' blooms with cones of tiny, white flowers in summer. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" round plastic container.

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. Aeonium like less frequent watering during their summer dormancy period.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.

This depends on where you live. A good rule of thumb is that Aeonium 'Sunburst' cannot freeze. If it gets frosty at all where you live, you'll want to move this plant indoors to a sunny sill for the winter.

Aeonium leaves tend to bruise easily. Even slight touches can permanent black marks. Be sure to shield the plant from things like hail, animals, and anything abrasive.

Water deeply, but infrequently. Avoid misting as mist has trouble penetrating the soil and reaching the roots. Click the link below to read our in-depth guide to watering succulents!

Aeonium - summer care See more »
2 years ago  •  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.

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.

No. Unfortunately, Aeonium are strictly frost tender plants. For a similar rosette shape that is frost hardy, check out the Sempervivum at the link below.

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.

It can get up in lower 100F for awhile. Too hot? See more »

As long as they're protected from harsh light while being that hot, they'll be fine. They won't grow in those temperatures but they'll withstand them gracefully until the weather cools.

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.
