Notes
Green pinwheel (Aeonium decorum) is a succulent for borders and containers, and it needs little care. 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 to average, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen, and it tolerates drought and salt. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees visit its blooms.
Pairs well with New Zealand flax, Flame African daisy, and Lemon grass.
