Comments:
  • Posted by Aeonium2003 on May 9, 2022 5:30 PM concerning plant:
    A UK member pointed out that some of the Aeonium tricolor in the UK is not Aeonium haworthii Dream color, but another Aeonium hybrid. The UK tricolor appears similar to Aeonium 'Florescens'. These plants often lack the red markings of Dream color, and show a different variegation pattern.

  • Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Jan 17, 2023 10:27 AM concerning plant:
    Branchy, bushy Aeonium with smallish rosettes bearing varying degrees of marginal variegation (green in the center, yellowish around the edges, reddish margins). Young leaves appear to be much more variegated. Prone to reversion to an all-green form. Very common and well behaved in cultivation.

    This plant is usually known in the trade as Aeonium 'Kiwi' but apparently the name 'Dream Color' was published first and takes precedence.
