Notes
'Gran Canaria' aeonium (Aeonium 'Gran Canaria') is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and dry beds. 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 sun and dry soil. It is a large form with broad, grey-green leaves. When dry, the leaves curl into a tight rosebud shape, and they open flat if well watered.
Pairs well with Silver squill, Orange bougainvillea, and Heavy Metal switchgrass.
