- Aeonium Arboreum Schwarzkopf is a showstopper, a succulent with real presence. Its large rosettes, a deep purple that borders on black, are the main attraction. The leaves, glossy and spoon-shaped, come together to form these striking rosettes atop strong stems, making a statement all on their own. It's a plant that shines as a focal point, whether in a pot, a contemporary garden, or even inside.
- This particular variety grows upright by nature, and as it matures, it can branch out, becoming a multi-headed marvel. Aeonium Zwartkop is perfect for patio pots when the weather is warm, and it can easily be brought indoors or into a greenhouse that doesn't freeze during the winter months. The colour of its leaves becomes even more intense in bright light, which only adds to its visual appeal.

Foliage type Evergreen, Perennial
Hardiness Tender
Soil acidity Neutral
Flower colour Yellow
Leaf colour Purple, Black

Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright light with some gentle direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. A warm, airy position and lower humidity suit this plant better than a steamy or constantly damp room.
