Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf'
Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf'
Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf', also known as Black Rose or Black Beauty, is a striking succulent prized for its dark, almost black, rosettes. The leaves are glossy, forming tight spirals as they grow, creating a dramatic and captivating appearance.
This drought-tolerant plant requires bright sunlight and well-draining soil, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation in mild climates. 'Schwarzkopf' adds a bold touch to succulent arrangements, gardens, or containers, making it a first-choice plant.
We often feature this plant in our RHS display gardens due to its ability to create a great contrast of colour to nearby succulents.
Also named Aeonium ‘Zwartkop’.

Ordering was simple and received the order promptly.
The bare rooted Aeonium arrived perfectly packaged with detailed potting instructions.
Now the hard bit ….my responsibility to get the poor thing through the winter months. The plant was in good condition when it arrived. It has lost some leaves now after a few weeks. Now trying a different position, from kitchen windowsill with limited sunlight, in the greenhouse. Increased sunlight and light.
Detailed instructions are available on the website.
