Aeonium ‘Blushing Beauty’

Among the loveliest of Aeoniums, award-winning ‘Blushing Beauty’ is a branched, upright succulent with tight rosettes of glossy, light green, spoon-shaped leaves, flushed with red round the edges. Adding incredible drama and interest to the garden or containers, this Aeonium produces pale yellow racemes of small, star-shaped flowers in spring on mature plants.

• Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
• Grows up to 2-3 ft. tall and wide (60-90 cm).
• Easily grown in sandy, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade and poor soils. While drought tolerant, Aeoniums require more regular watering than other succulents since they have a relatively small, shallow root system.
• Aeoniums may go dormant in summer and do not require any water, except in excessively dry conditions. When in growth water moderately and feed every two or three weeks with a balanced liquid feed. During the winter months, restrict water to just enough to keep the foliage from shriveling.
• Aeoniums are monocarpic: the rosette flowers once and dies thereafter. However, it may take several years before this happens and not all rosettes bloom at the same time.
• Excellent for rock gardens, succulent gardens or Mediterranean gardens. Perfect for containers where spectacular floral arrangements can be created.
• Deer resistant and salt tolerant.
• Virtually pest and disease free. 
• Propagate by cuttings of rosettes kept at 64ºF (18ºC) and barely moist until rooted.
