Highlights
Aeonium urbicum (Webb & Berthelot): A green rosette that can grow massive and produces an impressive inflorescence. This species from the Canary Islands tends to grow a single rosette on an unbranched stem up to 6.0' tall. The rosette becomes flat and open with time and can reach over 12.0" in diameter. After several years it can produce a giant, domed inflorescence. The inflorescence can reach 3.0' tall and is made up of hundreds of small, white to pink flowers. A. urbicum makes a truly striking plant in a landscape.
PLEASE NOTE: Leaves may curl or become bruised during shipping. They will recover with proper light and water and by shedding old leaves and replacing them as they grow. 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.
