Notes
'Cyclops' aeonium (Aeonium 'Cyclops') is a succulent for containers, specimen planting, 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 huge rosettes reach 12-18 inches across on thick stems that sometimes branch. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Bees visit it too.
Pairs well with New Zealand flax, Flame African daisy, and Dragon tree.
