I've always loved this species of Aeonium. It is robust, sturdy, and freely branching like other arboreum cultivars but what makes this one unique is the beautiful coloring. In late spring, the leaves turn ash brown with maroon striping and margins, exaggerated on the undersides of each leaf. The maroon markings are unique on each plant. During the cool/growing season, colors turn back to a rich green and the maroon markings disappear.

Nice post, I have become a fan of Aeoniums in general for the garden, easy to multiply and love them on mass as well. LT
