Elevate your garden or indoor space with the captivating allure of Aeonium 'Atropurpureum,' also known as Purple Aeonium. This striking succulent, native to the Canary Islands, is renowned for its dramatic rosettes of deep purple to maroon leaves and its architectural branching habit.

Key Features:

  • Rich, Dark Foliage: The deep purple leaves, tinged with maroon, create a stunning visual contrast in any setting. The colour intensifies with sunlight exposure, adding a dynamic element to your landscape.

  • Rosette Formation: Leaves are arranged in compact, symmetrical rosettes that resemble blooming flowers. As the plant matures, these rosettes cluster together at the tips of the branches, creating a visually appealing spectacle.

  • Architectural Structure: The branching habit of Aeonium 'Atropurpureum' adds an architectural element to your garden. Its stems can reach up to 3 feet tall, creating a sculptural presence.

  • Unique Blooms: In late winter or early spring, tall, branching inflorescences emerge, bearing delicate yellow-green flowers. These flowers create a stunning contrast against the dark foliage, adding a touch of whimsy to the plant.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, afternoon shade can be beneficial.

  • Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, ideally a cactus or succulent mix.

  • Temperature: Tolerates a wide range of temperatures but prefers warmer climates. Protect from frost in colder regions.

Versatile Uses:

  • Rock Gardens: Its unique shape and colour make it an excellent addition to rock gardens, where it can create a dramatic focal point.

  • Containers: Thrives in pots and containers, making it perfect for patios, balconies, and indoor spaces.

  • Xeriscaping: Its drought tolerance makes it an ideal choice for xeriscapes and water-wise gardens.

Add a touch of drama and elegance to your landscape with the captivating Aeonium 'Atropurpureum'. Its unique features and low-maintenance requirements make it a must-have for any succulent enthusiast.
