Notes
'Velour' aeonium (Aeonium 'Velour') 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. It forms large rosettes in green and warm burgundy on stems up to 2-3 feet tall. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Sedge, Lemon Coral sedum, and Dragon tree.
