Aeonium tabuliforme (Flat-Topped Aeonium)

Flat as a pancake, award-winning Aeonium tabuliforme (Flat-Topped Aeonium) is a succulent biennial or perennial with unbranched stems bearing nearly flat rosettes of overlapping, fleshy soft green leaves. Hairy-edged, the leaves radiate from the center in remarkable symmetry. Adding incredible drama and interest to the garden or containers, this Aeonium produces large panicles of small, starry yellow flowers after several years.

• Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
• Grows up to 2-6 in. tall (5-15 cm) and 10-18 in. wide (25-45 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.
• 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 seed sown at 66-75ºF (19-24ºC) in spring or by cuttings of rosettes kept at 64ºF (18ºC) and barely moist until rooted.
• Native to the Canary Islands
