Aeonium hierrense

One of our newest and juiciest Canary Island rarities! To our knowledge we are the first nursery in the U.S. to offer this elephant-sized & imposing species - possibly the largest in the genus. Well grown specimens have rosettes that can span up to 3’ & leaves often have a glaucous waxy coating & red margins! Like the lust-worthy A. nobile, it’s monocarpic, so at the end of its life it will produce a magnificent display of pure white flowers atop reddened stems & soon after will pass away (hopefully leaving behind lots of seed!). A thickened trunk develops as the plant ages, adding interest to its impressiveness. Good drainage is key, as well as full sun & not too much water!
