Aeoniums are striking, architectural succulents famous for their geometric, pinwheel-like rosettes. Native to the Canary Islands and North Africa, these botanical wonders are named from the Greek word aonios, which translates to ageless or eternal.
-
Unlike most succulents, Aeoniums actively grow during the cooler, wetter months and go semi-dormant in the blistering heat of summer.
- Due to high levels of anthocyanin, some varieties boast glossy, deep purple leaves that appear completely black when grown in full sun.
- Aeoniums are monocarpic. When a mature rosette flowers, the main stalk produces a spectacular spray of star-shaped flowers, but afterward, the rosette dies.

- A succulent doesn't forget a drought, and it certainly remembers a good watering. Think of "Yesterday’s Context" as the water stored in a Crassula Ovata’s leaves. It’s the reservoir the plant draws from when today gets heat-intensive. Without a memory of the previous season, the plant can't prepare for the next bloom.
