Aeonium Suncup

Aeonium castello-paivae cv. Variegata.   

It is a most delightful evergreen, variegated cultivar with succulent rosettes, in pale green splashed with creamy white, forming compact clumps to about 30 cm tall and wide. It is one of the smaller species of aeonium but produces multiple offsets. With Aeonium “Suncup” almost every offset is different. The rosettes are only about 10cm in diameter and are a variegated cream, green and yellow colour,  developing pink margins when grown in full sun. It flowers in summer and the flowers are white. Aeonium castello-paivae cv. Variegata is hardy, compact, and has beautiful foliage, making it a fantastic addition to gardens or collections. It is excellent as a container plant that can be brought inside if temperatures fall below -5° C. Needs well drained soil and very little water in summer. It enjoys a slightly more shady area or only full morning sun.
