Description

The Copper Pinwheel, often sold as Aeonium 'Sunburst', is a breathtaking variegated succulent. Its large rosettes are a spectacular pinwheel of creamy yellow, green, and coppery-pink stripes, often edged with a fine red line. It is less branched than other aeoniums, often growing as a single, stunning specimen. This sun-loving plant is a living work of art, ideal for containers or as a prized centerpiece where its colors can be admired.

  • A spectacular variegated cultivar with large, flat rosettes striped in ivory, green, and pink.

  • The variegation creates a striking pinwheel or starburst pattern.

  • Often grows as a single-stemmed or sparsely branched specimen, emphasizing the solitary rosette.

  • Color is best in bright, filtered light or morning sun; intense afternoon sun can scorch the pale portions.

  • More tender and slower-growing than all-green aeoniums.

  • A top-tier collector's plant and stunning container specimen.

Faqs

Q: How do I care for the variegation?
A: Provide bright, indirect light or morning sun. Protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent scorching the creamy-white parts. The plant has less chlorophyll, so it grows slower and can be more sensitive.

Q: Why is it losing its pink color?
A: The pink/copper hues are stress colors brought out by cooler temperatures and bright light. In constant heat or lower light, the pink may fade, leaving more green and cream.
