Description

 

Black Rose Aeonium (Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop') is a dramatic evergreen succulent admired for its nearly black, burgundy-purple rosettes and sculptural branching stems. The glossy, spoon-shaped leaves form striking rose-like clusters, developing their richest dark coloration in bright sunlight. Mature plants may produce tall clusters of yellow, star-shaped flowers, adding seasonal interest. With its bold architectural form and low water needs, this eye-catching succulent is perfect for modern landscapes, coastal gardens, rock gardens, and decorative patio containers. It thrives in well-drained soil and mild climates.

Faqs

Q: How can I keep Black Rose Aeonium's foliage dark?
A: Provide plenty of bright sunlight to encourage its rich burgundy-black coloration. In hot inland climates, some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.

Q: How often should Black Rose Aeonium be watered?
A: Water moderately during its cooler active-growing season, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Reduce irrigation during summer dormancy, especially in hot weather.

Q: Does Black Rose Aeonium die after flowering?
A: Individual rosettes usually die after flowering, but the entire branching plant generally survives because other rosettes continue growing.
