The stemless Aeonium species with attractive, urn-shaped dormant rosettes were formerly placed in the genus Greenovia, now considered a synonym of Aeonium. Therefore, one will often see this plant in the literature or online as Greenovia aurea. It is found on several of the Canary Islands but this offering traces its lineage to Gran Canaria where the species is reported to form impressive, large rosettes to 30 cm diameter! We offer HBG 142014, later generation plants from open-pollinated, selfed seed. The dust-like seed was sown January 4, 2023. $10.
