Aeonium subplanum Exclusive


Aeonium subplanum Exclusive
40 (70)cm ø, almost unknown Aeonium from the group of Canariensae, native to partially shaded rock crevices on La Gomera. Makes as closely related Aeonium canariense very large, cup shaped, flattened rosettes of to 70cm ø (!), with light green to dark green, pubescent leaves with a typical, pleasant balsam fragrance. Leaves' tips are elliptical at their very end, which identify this species easily. Large, yellow, cylindrical to conical inflorescence up to 70cm in height from April to August. Makes only very few if any offsets, yet easily propagated by readily set seeds. Seedlings are growing fast. For any well drained, rather inorganic soil (e.g. crushed lava) in a sunny to partially shaded spot. South side of La Gomera at some 750m.
