x Semponium 'Destiny'
- Description
A unique plant due to its distinctly dark, veiny leaves. Colours range from bright green to a very deep purple in strong sunlight. An interesting feature of this variety is the way that it can hold its dark colours all year round, unlike most other purple Aeonium hybrids. This plant grows to 60cm across on a single rosette, but is prone to branch once the main rosette can sustain new growth, usually after a year or two.
Awarded Plant of the Month for August 2024.
