Notes
'Blushing Beauty' aeonium (Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty') is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its green leaves glow with a warm burgundy-orange blush. Deer tend to pass it by. It also handles drought and salt.
Pairs well with Lion's tail, Lemon Coral sedum, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
