Aeonium nobile is one of the most exciting and dramatic Aeonium species on the planet.
This Aeonium giant is a must in any collection, a truly stunning Aeonium with its unique growth formation and size, not to mention a rewarding stunning floral display.
With ideal conditions, it can grow up to 3 feet across; each leaf can measure up to 10 inches wide and during the summer the outer leaves turn a beautiful coral colour.
After several years, it will be mature enough to flower. Unlike any other Aeonium, they produce a spectacular scarlet-red 3 to 4ft flower spike with thousands of small individual flowers which will be loved by bees and other pollinators for months.
It has now become endangered in its natural habitat, making it an extremely rare plant to see in cultivation. Endemic to La Palma, Canary Islands.
During the season of 2018, we proudly had several of our most prized specimens come into full flower. We pollinated these to produce the seed for the new stock we now have available. Making this a sustainably sourced rare succulent.
They make unbelievable potted succulent plants, a definite must for any collection.

How to Care For Aeonium nobile
How often should I water Aeonium nobile? 💦 +
The Aeonium nobile would like to be soaked and left to partially dry, usually between once and twice per week in the peak growing season. It is advised to reduce watering when plants are dormant, usually during a heatwave, and to significantly reduce/ stop watering when conditions are frosty. If grown indoors over winter, water the plant lightly and directly to the roots when the plant is thirsty.
What soil is best for Aeonium nobile? 🪴 +
Aeonium nobile needs free-draining soil to thrive. Use a specialist cactus and succulent mix, or blend compost with horticultural grit, sand, or perlite. This keeps the roots aerated and prevents excess moisture, which can cause root rot. Adding a gritty top-dressing not only looks attractive but also keeps foliage dry, reduces fungus gnats, and helps regulate moisture. Healthy soil is the foundation of successful succulent care.
Does Crassula Aeonium nobile need fertiliser? 🌱 +
Yes, but only in moderation. Feeding helps maintain healthy growth and strong colours. Use a diluted liquid fertiliser for succulents or a balanced cactus feed during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply every few weeks when watering. Avoid fertilising during dormancy in winter, as plants are resting and don’t need extra nutrients. Too much fertiliser can cause weak, leggy growth, so always err on the side of less.
