Aeonium velour
Aeonium velour

With deep chocolate to purple foliage contrasted against a bright green centre, Aeonium velour is a brilliant variety that grows well in containers as well as in the garden.

This is a rosette forming plant that does not grow the long stems of some other Aeonium arboreum varieties. The plant is compact growing with tight rosettes. With its low growing nature it is suited as a ground cover plant. Use it beneath taller varieties, or grow it it in a container where its spectacular foliage provides colour year round.

Like most Aeoniums it does flower, yellow flowers on tall stems in summer once established.
