Small, shrubby Aeonium hybrid (sedifolium x spathulatum) with tiny leaves and abundant branching. Flowers are yellow and appear on short terminal inflorescences. The freely branching behavior helps ensure a long lifespan in cultivation because the heads that flower (and then die) are constantly being replaced by new ones.
A single-headed cutting may yield a plant overflowing a 10 inch pot in less than 2 years, given good care in a mild climate. Start cuttings in fall for best results. Expect seasonal variation in growth (including a period of relative rest during summer) along with marked changes in leaf color (green in winter, reddish orange during summer). Monitor flowers for aphid activity. Any given inflorescence may have up to 7 branches.
