Aeonium 'Firecracker'

This beautiful succulent plant is a hybrid between A. ’Schwarzkopf’ and A. simsii. Its rosettes, with a green center and reddish leaves, are formed by narrow, lanceolate leaves with ciliated margins that give the plant a disordered appearance. With the prolonged exposure to the direct sun or during drought periods the color of the leaves intensifies and takes on a bordeux red shade. As this plant grows, it loses its basal leaves and discovers its smooth brown trunk. It is a perfect succulent plant to give a touch of liveliness to your balconies or window sills or in your exclusive plant compositions.
