Aeonium 'Kiwi'<br />
Brightly colored succulent, the leaves pale yellow in the center, progressing towards green on the outer leaf,<br />
and all edged in red. Blooms with yellow flowers in summer. Rosettes on stalks eventually reach 2-3 ft tall x<br />
1-2 ft wide, a very impressive display. These prefer part or dappled sun with very little water. Frost hardy to<br />
25F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9 so best in containers that winter indoors with only occ<strong>as</strong>ional water. Also sold <strong>as</strong> A.<br />
'Tricolor and A. 'Kiwionium.'<br />
1g @ $15 Cr<strong>as</strong>sulaceae<br />
Aeonium ‘Sunburst’<br />
Handsome, shrub-forming, sedum relative from the Canary Islands, beautifully variegated rosettes <strong>of</strong><br />
evergreen leaves -- green and yellow edged in coppery red -- on stems rising to 1-2 ft tall. White flowers<br />
appear summer. Best in sun where soil is well-drained. Very drought tolerant so careful watering for potted<br />
plants. Superb container plant to bring inside to a bright spot if temperatures dip into the mid 20s, mid <strong>USDA</strong><br />
<strong>zone</strong> 9.<br />
5g @ $42 Cr<strong>as</strong>sulaceae<br />
Aeonium 'Zwartkop'<br />
Very popular, shrub forming, sedum relative from the Canary Islands with rosettes <strong>of</strong> nearly black leaves on<br />
gray-brown stems rising to 3-4 ft. Yellow, star-shaped flowers appear in clusters in late winter and early<br />
spring on mature plants. For sunny co<strong>as</strong>tal are<strong>as</strong> or part shade inland with occ<strong>as</strong>ional but deep summer water.<br />
Frost hardy to the mid 20s F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9, and a superb container plant to bring inside to a bright spot<br />
where temperatures drop lower. Also found <strong>as</strong> A. arboreum 'Zwartkop' and occ<strong>as</strong>ionally <strong>as</strong> A. manriqueorum<br />
'Schwartzkopf'.<br />
6in @ $12, 4in @ $5 Cr<strong>as</strong>sulaceae<br />
Aeonium canariense canary island aeonium<br />
Another wonderful succulent for the gardener’s palette. Growing up to 3 ft tall and wide, this rosette-forming<br />
plant does very well in the garden where temperatures don't drop below 25F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9, and plants<br />
are protected from freezing. Otherwise, best in pots or <strong>as</strong> a temporary garden display. Does best in sun with<br />
sheltering from hottest afternoon rays and a bit <strong>of</strong> summer water now and again. Too cool!<br />
6in @ $12 Cr<strong>as</strong>sulaceae<br />
Aeonium canariense x nobilis (?)<br />
A hybrid with one parent being A. canariense and the other very probably A. nobilis. But whatever the<br />
parentage and fine succulent with tight, 6-8" rosettes <strong>of</strong> overlapping leaves. To 18" tall and eventually<br />
brancing, these do well where temperatures stay above 25F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9. So in <strong>zone</strong> 8 they are best in<br />
pots that winter over indoors. Best in morning sun with some summer water.<br />

Aloe ‘Br<strong>as</strong>s Hat’<br />
A most wonderful Hummel hybrid with dark bronzy leaves and rosettes forming clumps <strong>of</strong> 6” to 1 ft adorned<br />
throughout the year with br<strong>as</strong>sy orange flowers. The cross, <strong>as</strong> follows -- A. (A. haworthioides x A. bakeri) x<br />
((A. descoingsii x A. calcairophylla) x A. bakeri) -- seems algebraic and daunting. The plants are not. Al<strong>as</strong>,<br />
frost hardy only to about 25F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9, so take precautions. Great container plant. Keep dry in<br />
winter.<br />
