Aeonium 'Deep Purple'

Aeonium 'Deep Purple' is one of few Aeoniums that resembles a purple-coloured rosette. The darker colours are brought out by the summer sun. It is a genuinely wonderful specimen. This fast-growing hybrid also features large curly leaves similar to Aeonium 'Pomegranate'. As shown in the final pictures, it can grow to astonishing heights. Our tallest specimen has reached a height of 185cm from the pot, with a rosette diameter of 40cm. It then flowered, which gave it an extra 40cm in height, finally towering to well above 2m! It tends to offset from the bare stem and keep the main rosette in perfect form, occasionally offsetting from the base.
