Habit and Cultural Information Category: Succulent Family: Crassulaceae (Stonecrops) Origin: Canary Islands (Atlantic Ocean) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Red Bloomtime: Summer Height: 1-2 feet Width: 1-2 feet Exposure: Cool Sun/Light Shade Seaside: Yes Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F Aeonium nobile (Noble Aeonium) - A robust and clustering selection or hybrid of Aeonium nobile that has short stout stems topped by large rosettes to 12 to 15 inches across with thick fleshy orange to red-tinged olive-green rounded-tip triangular leaves with offsets forming along the stems - which is atypical for the species. After several years the plant matures and in late winter to spring produces a large inflorescence that rises on a red stalk to display a flattened capitate head over 1 foot wide and nearly as tall with many small star-shaped pink flowers with white anthers (the species usually has dark red flowers). While the main rosette dies (and results in the plant's demise for the non-clustering species) the non-flowering rosettes on this plant live on. Grows well in shade but develops the red coloration best when grown in full coastal sun or at least part sun inland. Here on the coast it is drought tolerant but tolerates regular irrigation so long as the soil is very well draining. Hardy to the mid to low 20's F with reported leaf damage around 20F. An easy to grow plant that is great planted in a dry succulent planting or used as an unusual potted specimen. This species is a bit rarer than most other Aeonium and many consider it to be the best of the genus. Aeonium nobile is endemic to the Canary Islands where it can be found growing in lava rock and experiences dry summers while the plant is dormant. This origins of this selection/hybrid is a bit of a mystery - we purchased our original stock plant at Terra Sol Nursery, a retail nursery in Santa Barbara, CA.  The information that is presented on this page is based on research we have conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations we have made of it in the nursery's garden and in other gardens we have visited, as well how it performs in our nursery crops out in the field. We incorporate comments that we receive from others as well and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they know of cultural information that would aid others in growing  Aeonium nobile 'Cluster Form'.
