Aeonium canariense virgineum

Horticultural Data | Shipping & Availability | Top

Aeonium canariense virgineum is a medium-sized aeonium prized for its soft velvety appearance, and profuse mounds of bright green rosettes covered in small hairs. In bright sun, these rosettes can form a red edge adding to its dramatic appearance.

In spring, Aeonium canariense virgineum is a well-known butterfly attracting plant. It sends up a flower spike of yellow blooms which can last for several weeks. Aeonium canariense virgineum is usually monocarpic and the blooming stem dies leaving behind seeds and many pups. This plant tends to spread laterally, resembling a colony of large sempervivum aka ‘Hens and Chicks’.  In its native Canary Island habitat, this succulent grows on lava rock so it is a very hardy plant, however needs excellent drainage to thrive.

Aeonium canariense virgineum can be used to create visual interest in containers, roof decks, lawn edges, borders, and even rock gardens. It is also an attractive contrast to cactus and dry grasses. Plants remain short and close to the ground and do not form long branch like many aeoniums. Leaves are covered with small hairs giving it an inviting fuzzy appearance. Aeoniums like to grow during winter months when moisture is more available. Many aeoniums go dormant during summer. Heads cup up and tighten.
